The locations of some of the greatest goals are identifiable not by the players who scored them, but the nets the ball ended up in

Millwall FC
The Lions moved to what was known as the New Den in 1993, where modern box nets inevitably followed a fairly standard set of Continental D's.
But dig into Millwall's history of goal nets at the (old) Den and a rich seam of diversity is revealed.
The early 90's groove was a highly distinctive set of Continental D's.
While just a couple of years earlier black A-frames (similar to Hibernian's?) stood at either end of Cold Blow Lane.
The same stanchions can be seen up close about a minute into this beautiful clip from 1979.
But in the fine tradition of saving the best for last, back in the fierce Mid-70's the architecture were white A-list A-frames, separated at birth from the A-frames at Leeds Utd.
