On the five year anniversary of Ruben Neves scoring an absolute classic against Derby, we spoke to the ones who witnessed it up close to get their reaction and memories of that moment.
We hear from the commentators Bill Leslie and Don Goodman, the referee Tim Robinson, fans in the South Bank that night and Scott Carson, who was the keeper beaten by that unstoppable strike.

Can’t believe it was 5 years ago, what a player,what a goal,what a team , “ Wolves aye we”🧡🖤🧡🖤
I will never forget that Goal the springs in my Sofa broke when i landed back down after jumping so high watching it on tv.
I’m going to bawl my eyes out when this man leaves wolves
Deep joy
This isn't a good omen. Wolves media team usually put these things out ahead of a transfer news post.
Best goal i'll ever see live. It'll be a really sad day when this guy leaves us, but its inevitable now. Wish him nothing but the best and hope he goes to a massive club, preferably overseas, haha
I reckon, freeze at 8:11 and use that image for the statue 👍
I remember being in the crowd at the first game of the season vs Everton the year after. Thinking to myself, okay hes got a Free Kick against a PL team, hes been doing it against Championship teams for a year, but now is the test against a "proper" team.
The runup, and the curl into the top right hand corner. It was magical. That was when i knew we were going somewhere big, and he'd become one of the greats of the Black Country,
A goal that will always be talked about. A goal that will always live in Wolves rich history. A goal that Ruben Neves amongst everything else will always be remembered. In short sensational 💥🐺🧡
Hope you're trying your hardest to keep him @ wolves £150k a week 1 year contract
What a Strike he is a Wonderful player no dowt a out it Wolves are lucky to have him 👏 👍Ruben Neves…😊
And see his celebration rashford trying to say it’s his 😂😂
I think about this goal constantly, and the Europa League banger against Espanyol!
Take me back. One of my favourite seasons 🧡🖤
To be in the Southbonk that night and that goal will live with me forever !!!
Fair play to Scott Carson for coming on, not many would want to turn up and talk about it. Then again, there's nothing him or any keeper on the planet could have done to stop that.
I was in the Stan Cullis upper that night right in line with Neves. There was a sort of delayed reaction from those around me of “have we just seen that”. A couple more things about the game, the Derby fans applauding the goal and the game was directly after the win at Cardiff and Warnock’s outburst against Nuno, when he accused Nuno of having no class directly after telling him to F off three times. When the Wolves fans started singing about Warnock being a banker (or words to that effect), the Derby fans joined in…..😂😂
Amazing goal. Would've liked to have heard Mikey Burrows and Thommo's version of events too, love his commentary on that goal!
❤ Wolves, and I will always love Ruben Neves, thank you for your contribution to our club… Once a wolf, always a wolf!
Wasn't even the best goal scored that week… But it's the best goal ever for your club 😂😂😂
This could be a sign that he’s not gonna be with wolves much longer
I was in the south bank up in s1 in shock I didn’t celebrate straight away I was just stunned…. The only time I’ve ever seen away fans clap for an opposition goal
Bloody hell I miss Nuno
Fantastic video idea, love this club
The best goal I ever witnessed.
I still owe huge debt to my colleague who couldn't make it that day and so I took my son…
And thanks to Louise, my son has the celebratory painting on his wall.
Being a wolves fan since birth in 2002 I’ve never seen a better goal one of the most underrated Midfielders of our generation
I think, us Wolves fans have been absolutely blessed with a Gem who not only gave me personally, the best memories as a Wolves fan, but an entire community who appreciate everything he has ever done. He will leave, onto bigger and more adventurous journeys, but my god what a man, what a player, what a hero. Thank you Ruben. For everything.
Fair play from Scott Carson turning out for this, because there is no way I'm talking about it if I'm a keeper
What a player! What a man! Stay with us Ruben your a wolves legend ❤
I was there that day, I support arsenal but was there with a wolves mate, the reaction in the stadium was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, we all knew we’d seen a once in a lifetime goal and I’ve been hoping we signed him ever since.
