Greatest goals ever scored

Of the back of the Rooney nonsense, I was wondering what people thought was the best goal ever scored. Great goals are a mixture of two things, technique and event. Difficult to argue with these two.

This is my personal best, but its more about the belief that someone big was about to happen, than the actual goal.

I'll be all over this thread, and so will Dennis, when I'm not at work

This has always been one of my faves, I've never forgotten it:

Trivia: the ball-boy going mental behind the goal was future Bolton striker Julian Darby. He was OK in his time.

That worthington goal was a cracker! Magic...

Cantona crushes Liverpool supporters in 96...

Trying to pick a Ronaldo goal (brazilian who just retired, not CR) - it's fucking impossible.

Obviously Maradona's second goal against us in 86 - fucking incredible.

A decent enough goal at 0:45, made 100 times better by Barry Davies' fucking brilliant commentary.

I remember watching that when I was a student. My hatred of Man U then was at such heights that I went into my room and punched the fuck out of the wardrobe in a blind rage. Nowadays I fucking love to see the Mancs turn over Liverpool. Weird how I've mellowed so much toward them after a lifelong hatred.

This one always raises a smile:

His first touch is miscontrolled. Then he fouls Dabizas. And it's against Dabizas.

For me personally these three goals are the greatest ever. I was on my knees crying

you are clearly new to Bergkamp.

no, he's just from Newcastle. Can't really blame him for that, more appropriate would be to feel sorry for him.

Gerrard's hat trick against Napoli in the second half earlier this season was pretty fucking good football :)

Too many really.

2 that spring to mind apart from the ones already posted:

But that Bergkamp goal might be my favorite as well.

People seem to be forgetting the event variable =)

3:30, as if anyone needs reminding.

Gah, I love Gourcuff so much. I've been hoping for about 5 years that when Cesc leaves, we'll replace him with Gourcuff at Arsenal.

Unfortunate that the second goal was in a friendly, so scenario score is 0/10. But skill and finish are 10/10.

Long ball controlled on the volley on his thigh, right foot, and then curled with his unfavoured left-foot past a despairing keeper. Jism.

Roberto Carlos should be mentioned in this thread. The first two are sick.

Van Persie's goal against Arsenal today was pretty fucking good - on both counts.

Banana goal
