The greatest goal....Van Basten for me, or Maradona against England, just for individual ability. The Brazil 1970 (Carlos Alberto) one gets trotted out a lot for the team effort (or lack of) within it. Playing devils advocate, it always seems to me the Italians let them play....There are several that I could think of that I am sure I have built up in my own head over time to be better than they are, like the Gazza free kick in the Cup semi against David Seaman. Also, in the 1990 world cup, I thought Stojkovic scored a free kick that bent as much as the Carlos one in 1998. However, I saw it again 15 years later, and was nothing like I remembered it |

It's probably wrong to choose one so some honorable mentions, Tony Yeboah against Wimbledon, Bergkamp against Newcastle and also his hattrick against Leicester.
But one of my favourites is Matthew le Tissier's against Newcastle, superb ball juggling :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09RwRRqKgnM |

seedorf for real is the best strike ever for my money.
best all round goal i couldn't chose one. so many that i love. |

| L.C. |
Bergkamp for Holland against Argentina in the 1998 (i think) World Cup, when he controlled the cross, moved the ball on to the other foot, turning the defender inside out and slamming it into the top corner.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESl0-qZxlik Bit of a funny story attached to it - lets just say i was in a bit of a compromising position with the girlfriend on top, and her not realising i was watching the game over her shoulder with the sound turned down. Bergkamp scored, i shouted out, and got rumbled...... Cheers LC |

Re: The greatest goal....
I wish I could take that seriously. "best goal" has to include context, quality of opposition etc. It was a fantastic goal. not as good the greatest ever goal which was of course Jackie Milburn's run from the half way line in the 1951 cup final, but still a fantastic goal

Re: The greatest goal....
It was a fantastic goal. I was just putting it out there that it was the 4th goal, and the Italians may have been standing off somewhat. I dare say you know more about the context of the game and how good the Italians were. (I was going to put a joke in the original post about you bringing up a goal from Newcastle in the 50's, but didn't bother )

George Best against Chelski in the mud (cant remember the date) Even Chelsea's finest hatchet men couldnt stop him | ||||

Need to cast your mind back for this super, inventive classic goal.

Mine has always been Eder's winner against the USSR in the 1982 World Cup. Fantastic skill and a stunning strike and no matter how many great goals I've seen in the following years, nothing ever knocks it off my opinion of being the best goal (certainly my favourite.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RB9ZeBvNXs As an added treat the video below is 5m47s of the GREATEST entertainers the World Cup has ever seen (IMO) If you remember fondly the 1982 Brazilian team as the best side never to have won the WC* (and a damn side better than a few who have) then take yourself back down memory lane. If you're too young to remember 1982, then you're in for a real treat. My favourite football team of all time who scored 15 stunning goals in the tournament (plus the person who put the video together also had Eder's at #1 - good taste!) Enjoy!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZxvYy5-ekI&NR=1 *The Hungarians of the 1950's were before my time |

I was there the day Dennis Bergkamp scored his hat-trick at Filbert Street, the last goal imparticualr was sublime. Lilian Nalis' thunderbolt volley against Leeds is one that sticks in the memory. | ||||

Couldn't pick one goal to be the greatest.
5 faves of mine for various reasons...... and I could think of another 20 no problem! Glenn Hoddle V Watford http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLxOUFVhPZQ Chippy Brady V Spurs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3ARNPVf7jQ&feature=fvw Mendietta volley V Barca http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAnHIkaFy9Q Terry Mac Volley (could only find it on this vid about 1min 55 secs in to it) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuSbsp7FHbI&feature=related Brooking V Hungary (5 mins 20 secs in to the clip) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6QD4LDTT9E |

theres already so many great goals on this thread.
i've not seen the cardiff one before.... a proper screamer. reminded me of these two: Rocket Ronnie (sorry Geordie) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PjZtz0JpV0 and this one which I think Phil Parkes 5h1t himself as it came towards him! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Whq_uq7QpvQ |
||||
| harchiefan |
Whatever about the greatest goal,the Ronnie Radford one is definitely my favourite.Could watch that goal all day(no offence GR) | ||||
| geordie_racer |
do you know, I hardly ever see it now. except every week that the fa cup is on the TV 
meanwhile those were, indeed the days. After losing away to Hereford mid week in the replay we went and beat man u on the weekend. happy days. |

Used to love watching Steve Heighway and this was possibly one of the best team goals ever. all one touch and inch perfect cross to fonis.
http://www.youtube.com/user/juzie...lay/all/uploads-all/1/vOB7pcqBH-Y My favourite premiership goal is Paulo Di Canio's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMIb49HIFds&feature=related MT jnr |

Footage of an amazing Cardiff goal was posted on our message board earlier, I'd not seen it before.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0vpBwxWM3o Circa 5.25 on that video. What a strike |
||||
| Binge |
I saw that earlier Mach and I hadn't seen it before either. I always thought the John Buchanan goal you posted further up the thread was City's "greatest ever" but that Peter King strike is something else! |
||||
| The_Pilgarlic |
That is something else - my jaw dropped when I saw it and I've replayed it 3 times. What is shocking is that it's never shown on TV! Going to go and find a few more....... |

Trev Sinclair's 'coulda gone anywhere (but it didnt it went in)' bicylcle kick
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2KeX7nhZRY I didn't realise Bobby Carlos needed such a long run up to do this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t5MF7NRQh4&feature=fvw for some reason this goal sticks in the memory and Haan had a bullet shot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAHJl7jmVK0&NR=1 Oh, and Cameron Jerome just scored quite a tidy one as I was writing this post 
|
||||
| Binge |
Haan's is a great strike but the wonder goal from '78 has to be Nelinho's. The only reason you need that the Third Place Play-Off must always remain at the World Cup! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8UkwirffjQ&feature=related |

I was right behind the goal. Spent all ga,e slagging him off and then he pops up with that. Must have had 100 people smiling at me at the end of the game. |

I thought I'd stick this link on here since there is a cracking goal on it, but it's the miss which is one of the worst I've seen!
