Cliff Durandt v Southampton - the goal meant we had a chance to stay up and we did with wins over Walsall and Luton who were both relegated instead. 1964 at a guess.
Yes. I remember the details slightly differently. In order to stay up we had to win our last two games (against Southampton and Walsall) and Luton had to lose their last one (against Stoke). All this happened, but only because of Cliff's last minute winner against Southampton.
I'm also not sure of the year, but I'd go for 1963.
At the same time that he scored with a long range effort (as with the Bournemouth game) the late goals were flying in at our rivals' games and they all went in our favour. Within a couple of seconds we had gone from a frustrating draw against a club that we should have beaten with all our rivals gaining ground on us, to inching further ahead in the promotion/title race. That was a a very good day to be CAFC!

I fell down the stairs in a 90 minute winner away to Saints years back, we had 10 men. Chris Iwelumo. Only other one that really sticks in my mind was Southend away on a Friday, Kyel Reid. Madness.
Remember the Southampton game well ! Yann's last gasp winner at Bournemouth was also memorable.
If I recall correctly at the same time as Yann scored against Bournemouth, Wednesday capitulated against Walsall(?) thanks to a mistake by Llera and lost. That was a good minute

You're quite right KHA - both the year and the facts. I had to check. We nobbled Walsall's keeper and another player before the days of subs to win against 9 men.
David Whyte free kick v Brentford back in about 95
Good shout. Was in the Covered End and remember quite an explosion of emotion that night.
I have waxed lyrical about that goal on here many times. I still hear the thud of the ball against the underside of the bar and then pandemonium.
Another Whyte classic came soon after. 1-0 down to promotion rivals Stoke with a minute left. We equalize and then Whyte at the same far post as JJ today heads in. Wonderful memories.
Dennis against palace the winner every time for me, some other good ones on here that it was nice to be reminded of though.
How about Oxford away at the manor ground, 97/98. 1 nil down since about ten minutes in, played shite all game, scored two in the last 5 minutes, pandemonium on the terrace. No idea who scored either of them, good fun though.
I was in the lounge at The Valley watching a feed when P*rker scored at Leeds, absolute bloody pandemonium. David Whyte v Brentford was one of the biggest roars I've heard down there, although today was pretty loud - even though most of us behind the goal thought the ball had gone behind!

Alan Pardew at Newcastle after we were 0.3 down and came back to win 4.3
Lisbie at the Bridge
Dennis
Jacko today
Kyle Reid at southend
Powell against Coventry (I know I cheated but it felt like a winner)
Not sure how you can top mills, rommedahl and hunt at cov. Kitsons at Palace was right up there too.
Jensen's was good but those above were sensational. Yanns at bournemouth was okay but didnt feel that important at the time as we were flying anyway.
