Best Non-LFC Goal

[StevieC]

What's yours and why?

 

To start the ball rolling: that majestic Bergkamp effort that knocked Argentina out of the WC right at the death. Seeing Ayala's and that 7th day Adventist t*** of a keeper's face as they realise they've been done is the cherry on the cake to go with the aesthetic brilliance of the goal.

I loved Suker's chip over Schmichael at Euro96

[Stevie H]

not necessarily my favourite but van basten's in the euro88 final always comes to mind. 'cos there was no way he should even have attempted that, it was ridiculous.

Love a bit of George Weah from his own penalty area. Then there is one that Almeyda scored for Lazio against... Parma. Check it out.

 

edit: bit harsh not having a Le Tissier goal... maybe that one vs Newcastle.

Redondo was lovely. Or Raul even.

Crespo scoring his second, Milan's 3rd, in Istanbul. Beautiful goal.

This one. Also nominated for best cinematography and smallest supporting crowd.

Socrates equaliser against the CCCP in Spain '82, and Maradona's 2nd against England in Mexico '86, complete with the late great Jimmy Magee's commentary on RTE. Different Class

thats a shout. what a player he was

Eder's goal wasn't bad either

Zico got the goal but Eder's FK against Argentina that led to it (Zico popped in the rebound) pissed all over Roberto Carlos' effort imho.

Neliniho - 3rd place play off in 78 (I think). Made Zoff look a right mug.

Socrates

Up there with Dalglish as my favourite player.

 

Coolest. Footballer. Ever.

 

Fact!

[Stevie H]

it's that he even thought it that still messes with me to this day. conventional wisdom would bring it down and cross it to gullit. trap it and lay it off to your winger. hold it up and play it to your fullback and make your way back into the box where you as a striker should be. no, i'm going to tw*t it on the volley from the actual byline and dip it over the head of probably the best goalkeeper in the world. 'cos i can and 'cos why not. a van gogh painting of a goal.

Roberto Carlos v France

Zidane v Leverkusen

Hoddle v Man U

Gazza v Arsenal

Yes 2 outstanding choices.

 

Hoddle scored a remarkably similar goal vs Forest (at WHL, same end as well)

 

Also loved his chip vs Watford, and a screamer at Anfield before we went on to win the League with a 3-1 win in 82

i don't like the roberto carlos free-kick against france. that was more about the ball than anything else. that wasn't genius or gift or skill or imagination, it was a lad with enormous thighs who can kick an engineered ball dead hard. 

 

and gary mac has dibs on the best free-kick ever anyway.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Demba Ba for Chelsea, or was it for Newcastle against Chelsea? Unstoppable

 

Bergkamp against Newcastle

That Yeboah for Leeds vs Liverpool - Justin Fashanu's GoTS in the 5-3 win vs Norwich in about 82

[Hightown Phil]

Demba Ba for Chelsea, or was it for Newcastle against Chelsea? Unstoppable

 

 

 

Papiss Demba Cisse wasn't it?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

was it? too many Dembas

 

What happened to him?

[Stevie H]

one of my favourite goals ever by one of my favourite players ever. wearing a suit. and getting sent off for it.

What makes him one of your favourite players ever? I remember him being a decent player, but nothing special really

[Stevie H]

i just had a fascination with east european midfielders who kept and loved the ball mate. him and robert prosinecki mostly. they were just unnecessarily stylish.
