GOOOOOOOAAAAAL!

[Baddar]

I don't think I've seen one of these threads yet so here goes.

Post a video link to your favourite goal. Unless you have a link, don't bother.

The goal can be for whatever reason. Whether it's a 45 yard screamer into the top corner or a two yard tap-in that got your team promotion/won them an important game.

Mine is This;

- The commentary from Clive Tyldsley is great too. I just love the "look" of the goal, and the way he completely fooled Cech, a man regarded as one of, if not, THE best goalkeeper in the world.

Neil Mellor vs. Arsenal

Looked like we were going to draw a game we should've won. Alonso had given us the lead with a brilliant goal, then Viera should have been sent off for one of the most blatant dives you'll ever see. He went on to score the equaliser. Last minute Mellor pops up with a 25 yarder from nowhere.

Either goal 1, 2, 3 or 5 from that video.

Fucking hell. Way to play the game.

Andy Cole (with Dwight Yorke helping out, a bit) vs Barcelona

[alldaws1]

I rest my case.

Against Liverpool at Anfield, about 40 yards out and Erik Edman of all people.

I don't know if that's my favourite goal of all time, I don't think I have one favourite but that one always springs to mind when people talk about great goals.

Everyone should also watch this from Kanoute and everyone's already seen Bentley's goal against Arsenal but watch it again for fun.

Disqualified because Jerzy Dudek was in goal

[alldaws1]

It's still awesome, dammit!

[Grounded Wingman]

Klaus Augenthaler, about 15-20 years ago. I remember seeing this goal on Scotsport's European round up when I was a kid.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I was gonna suggest some goals but AD just won the thread with the Edman goal.

And got the second best with Bentley's

Let's see if I can get some good backup goals though...

Forget Cristiano Ronaldo's freekick - Jay Jay Okocha's freekick against Villa is the best there is: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1GbE_Z5UJ4o

Van Basten's bicycle kick - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7PPrgGY5YJQ

Van Basten's volley - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5j1Z-0ZMM5Q

I still love Robbie Keane's goal against Blackburn though the video seems to have gone - when he flicked it over the player, chested then volleyed it home. Lush.

Nayim's Real Zaragoza goal to beat Arsenal - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iv35OY396Fo

These two Yeboah goals - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4JMuMtEVFwY

The strike against Liverpool was just the most perfectly struck shot I've ever seen. The goal against Wimbledon was also very tasty.

Huddlestone's half volley against Man City - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=RnSfs170XPw

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Don't even need a video.

Absolutely outstanding.

[Blue Rosler]

Favourite goal has to be Paul Gascoigne in Euro 96 against Scotland. The fact that is still in my memory over 12 years later is amazing. Also Michael Owen's effort against Argentina in World Cup 98.

[ZJ Penn]

Hmm. Maybe Scholes against Barcelona last season. It was awesome for all different reasons. And I'm not even a Man. United fan.

[Whisper]

Easy.

By far my favourite goal ever.

Also, the goal scored on this at around 1.23 on the video. All kinds of awesome.

Hard to pick one exact all time favourite. But I'll certainly throw this one up there:

[Farmer Reil]

The commentator sums this one up perfectly: DENNIS BERGKAMP! DENNIS BERGKAMP! DENNIS BERGKAMP! DENNIS BERGKAMP!!!!! Watching that, when you're a 12-year-old Arsenal fan, was pretty fucking awesome. And he's no less of a badass just because his middle name is Maria

Also, I suppose I should mention this one:

Sammy the 100m sprinter. Some say it's the easier goal anyone will ever score (mostly Shrews fans ¬_¬), but personally, I'd have been shitting myself at the half way line. Luckily Walker had pretty much won the game already (as he tends to do). Better than the goal though, was Steve Phillips absolutely flattening Paul Trollope in the celebrations. ¬_¬

[DFF]

I always liked Borgetti's header in the 2002 WC for Mexico:

[Dynamite]

Hard to narrow it down to just one but if I had to choose, I'd say this classic from Cantona:

[Anderson]

Peter Schmeichel for Aston Villa against Everton at Goodison Park in a 3-2 Premier League defeat in October 2001. Can't find a fucking video though

So how about this from the Ginger Maestro...
