Goal Celebrations

[Lord Nibbler]

What are your favourites/least favourites?

I liked Ronaldo's boot-polishing celebration after he scored yesterday. Very cocky. On the other hand, Yakubu's yak impression is just awful.

Someone should seriously do one of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9if9vkW59o.

Robbie Keane's sommersault is probably my favourite. Shearer's was iconic and Bebeto's baby one was pretty cool. Heskey's golf one was nice as well.

I did think that was genius, even if he is Robbie Fowler.

Crouch's Robot was hilarious. And the guy that did Cena's "Can't See Me" thing was great too

From the same series as the one I posted above

I seen a league 1 or 2 player doing the "You can't see me" the other week.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Shefki Kuqi so far.

Robbie Keane's cartwheel, forward roll, guns celebration is my favourite. Jurgen Klinsmann's dive after he scored and Alan Shearer's simple one arm up are close behind.

By any chance, has anyone done the RVD thumbs?

There are so many. Lua-Lua's somersaults are always nice, and Kuqi's massive dive is good as well. What about Sharpey's elvis impression with the corner flag?

I don't like Beckham at all, but his celebrations against Greece and Argentina are so memorable purely because of the occasion.

Tim Cahill!

Oh yeah. Now players aren't allowed to take of their shirts, celebrate within 30 yards of the crowd, or run too fast incase they trip. Yet we have idiots like Gary Neville taunting opposition fans and getting away with it.

There was a time when it was cool to do stuff like that, and fans usually take it well enough - it's nice when there's a bit of banter between fans and players.

Ala Cantona.

I liked the MLS player that go suspended once for doing a crotch chop towards the opposition's goalkeeper as a celebration that one time, that was gay and quality at the same time.

I also like when that one guy from Toronto scored in the USL once and took off his shoe and gave it to his teamates, who started sniffing it. Wait. No I didn't, that was gross >_>

As fineintent mentioned, there's something iconic about Alan Shearer's raised arm.

As for an individual celebration, Gazza's after scoring agaisnt Scotland in Euro 96. The goal was bloody spectacular, and the celebration really sticks in everyone's minds. He should have went to the World Cup in 1998.

Being a Shearer mark, I just love Shearer's celebration.

Ermm...otherwise, I used to like Lee Sharpe's "Three Amigos" and like Robbie Keane's celebration as well.
