I think it's the Boreham Wood match on 30/09/1989. This is how the BFP described the goal:
"However, after yet another corner, the home side took the lead, two minutes from half time. Creaser, who won almost everything in the air all afternoon, nodded down Stapleton's cross and there was Andy Kerr to bicycle back the ball into the net." I think the reporter meant bicycle kick. John Kerr scored the other two goals in that 3-1 win.
Andy Kerr played three games as the number 9 in September that season, scoring once, at Baldock in the FA Cup. He was number 6 for the Boreham Wood game.
@eric_plant, I seem to remember Kerr and Creaser having a purple patch of scoring at Adams Park, I'm struggling to find it in the stats though.
Interesting contrast between the two match reports available via that first link @Steve_Peart .
The first report takes the tone that Wycombe were rubbish, "In what can only be described as the worst game at Loakes Park for some time."
The second report takes the opposit tone that Wycombe played really well and "demolished" Borehamwood, who were saved from "being on the wrong end of a cricket score" only because their 'keeper "played a blinder".
The names of the publications they were printed in are missing. Any idea where each one appeared?
@Uncle_T , the first one, describing it as the worst game, would be the BFP, the other possibly the Borehamwood & Elstree Times, or some other local paper of theirs. It is interesting how different the two reports are, there are always two sides to a story!
Thanks very much @stevedore, good old Trans Video Productions. What a lovely bit of skill from Andy Kerr, 'world class' springs to mind! Good to also see the other Kerr in his prime. His famous flying header against Kiddy is at 11:35 on this video.
@drcongo, I don't believe in the concept of the Absolute Truth, but let's not start another philosophical discussion!
Unusual fact from his Wiki page, 1987-88 season:
"During one of those first team appearances for Portsmouth, Kerr was to make English Football League history when on September 19, 1987 while on the field of play as a replacement in a First Division away fixture at Watford, he became the first substitute to be likewise, substituted."
@Malone, Nuttell arrived the next season. If you are referring to the photo of Andy Kerr celebrating, the no. 10 is John Kerr. I thought Nuttell held the ball up well, and had a reasonable goals ratio.

That goalkeeper’s not a day under 55 years of age!
Isn’t that Blakey from On the Buses?
A rare occasion where we wore all light blue at home. If I remember rightly it was a cup game ?
Was it the draw with Gravesend ?
Is it Andy Kerr scoring against Boreham Wood in the FA Cup, Sep 1989?
I remember the goal. Andy Kerr scored with a bicycle kick back heel. Don't remember which game it was though
Was it during that run when he scored in 5 or so consecutive games?
I believe it was. Still right up there as the most incredible goal I've ever seen scored. If only I could really believe he meant it!
More periscopic than telescopic.

The goal is 15:40 into this:

Andy Kerr now speaks fluent bullshit, doesn't he?
Was that Micky Nuttell up front with the lovely blonde do?
Am sure as a kid we had some sort of tour, and he was in the dressing room, and someone asked who he was, and no one knew! That's kids for ya!
