The first league game of 2019/20 v ICT @ home, 3rd August. 4-1 & Laurence got all 4 in his league debut. I remember feeling exhilarated at the end. There was a feeling of there's something special going on. By the end of the month he'd scored 8 goals, we'd won all 4 league games incl 6-2 v Fun where Laurence got a measly one goal just! But on 90 mins at the ICT game was my Shanks Shampagne Moment.
I mean there are so many to choose from but I think I'm going to go for the Smokies at home. Playing like ****e, one nil down, going into the last minute, loads of fans heading for the exits. Shanks provides the most unlikely of ends to the match with two goals to win it at the death. A great example of what he meant for us that season.

Before anyone says it I know, but fair play these are pretty good. 🙂
Your number one choice, the second goal v Le Fun wasn't the prettiest goal he scored for us but definitely one of the best because he has so much to do. Wins a one on one he had no right to, turns defenders inside out and then still manages to find the net. Fantastic goal right in front of our fans.
The header across the keeper v ICT was sublime.
So many great memories. Thankyou Lawrence.
Obviously only watching it on the TV but the howitzer against St Johnstone from 55 yards was pretty special tae. Especially as it was in the middle of a run where we were dreadful to watch.

I was listening to Sportsound that day to get the final score and they were discussing was whether LoA was good enough for Scotland. Prick Young was giving it the big thumbs down as per, then the commentator interrupts with 'Late Goal at Tannadice - Lawrence Shankland'. He was still downplaying it until 'Another goal at Tannadice, Shankland again' was announced. Puss shut.
