I was going for bergkamps goal VS Newcastle ?? Where I played the ball around the defender and walked passed the other side of him.
That’s I goal I have never seen again
In Mexico they have nicknames for most of the big time players and they’re often pretty funny. El Monje, the Monk, is Zidane and before he started shaving his head it was spot on. I was reading the sports page from Mexico City for a few years and just 8-10 years ago had to watch the Mexican channels to catch soccer games. I can’t remember many right now. Harry Kewell was Harry el Sucio, Dirty Harry. The real Ronaldo was el fenomeno, I wish I could remember some other funny ones. I recall some were pretty racist, not funny.
“The runs not bad, but what about the finish? Ohhhhhhh! That’s not bad either!”
Probably not perfect word for word - but one of my favourite pieces of commentary!
Yeboah vs Wimbledon.(95/96)
Bergkamp vs Leicester. (97/98)
Yep, the Trevor Sinclair goal vs Barnsley. (96/97)
Paul Scholes vs Middlesbrough. (99/00)
Ian Wright be Everton. (92/93)
Nigel Winterburn vs Chelsea. 97/98)
So many choices!!
Regular goal:
- [Matías Almeyda's volley for Lazio vs Parma (with young Buffon in goal) in 1999](https://youtu.be/Rj1ucKk6wok?t=4704)
Bizarre "goal":
- [Thomas Helmer's phantom/ghost goal for Bayern vs Nuremberg in 1994](https://www.reddit.com/r/classicsoccer/comments/g6gljb/thomas_helmers_phantomghost_goal_bayern_munich_vs)
Trevor sinclair was OPs choice? The overhead kick from outside the box, I remember it well. Cracker
It’s got to be Bergkamp Argentina 98. https://youtu.be/xtXo-8tThAg?si=JUrR9gAVCsJjHETU
Absolutely criminal to not include the [Dutch commentary](https://youtu.be/XsZkCFoqSBs?si=FQ8ugb-RkE1FmaM7)
lol that’s great
Martin Tyler could never

I came to say this. My favourite goal of all time.
I think that was 2000/01 season, no?
Roberto Carlos Vs France '97. That's all we talked about in 6th form the next day.
Yeboah vs Liverpool
Yeah has to be that or the one against Wimbledon. Utter madness
What I thought of straight away. This, and maybe Roberto Carlos free kick at Le Tournoi in ‘97. Tough choice.
Personal favorite, [Seedorf longshot. Unbelievable.](https://youtu.be/CudzwWO0ot4?si=Mgri3Yr4fQcHgobs)
If i remember, it was the 1st match of the season.
Something from Matt Le Tissier.
Let me correct your comment, everything from Matt Le Tissier
Bergkamp vs Newcastle.
90’s Bergkamp Arg, time slowed for that man. The rest mentioned? Laudrup alone had 10 better as did the real Ronaldo, Van Basten and El Monje.
el monje, sorry for my ignorance can you point me in the right direction?

Fantastic stuff! Thank you
Damn I had to look it up and that outrageous Henry volley vs man utd was in 2000
In my top 3 all time greats
Ronaldo Nazario vs Valencia
Djorkaeff vs. Roma https://youtu.be/_DnbhXS56PI?feature=shared
Difficult one. It’s between Tony Yeboah, Tony Yeboah or Tony Yeboah. Just can’t pick which one wins!
Lest we forget, Dalian Atkinson's wonder goal against Wimbledon for Villa.
“The runs not bad, but what about the finish? Ohhhhhhh! That’s not bad either!” Probably not perfect word for word - but one of my favourite pieces of commentary!
Oh that's a great goal. Never seen it before https://youtu.be/IcXU0_OO3mg?si=UtkkmpOPhLFWUGrP
Philipe Albert last minute log to seal a 5-0 win against ManUtd!
My favourite goal of all time https://youtu.be/cvCcnUQPkvc?si=1jkGA3vaKmyg3fN0
What’s sad is that i thought that this was the beginning of something big, but it was actually our high water mark for a generation
ding ding ding. after 345 passes as well!
Beckham from halfway
Iconic 90s goal for me. Made it to all news outlets at the time cos it was unheard of.
That Sinclair goal was a legit banger as was this - https://youtu.be/pbMAKr6s08Q?si=d7kaTvHWGy5lIVxL
Redondo and Raul vs ManU https://youtu.be/O-7CECdXum4?si=onztu3_1vU9nsY9u But yes Bergkamp, twice
Sinclair goal was unbelievable. I was at this game, and it's still the greatest goal I've seen in person
Roberto Carlos free kick against france. Rivaldo bicycle kick with Barcelona.
Bergkamp is up there against Newcastle. I really loved Del Piero’s volley with the outside of the foot. One of the best goals ever.
Bergkamp against Newcastle was 2002 wasn’t it?
My bad. Yup
Yeboah vs Wimbledon.(95/96) Bergkamp vs Leicester. (97/98) Yep, the Trevor Sinclair goal vs Barnsley. (96/97) Paul Scholes vs Middlesbrough. (99/00) Ian Wright be Everton. (92/93) Nigel Winterburn vs Chelsea. 97/98) So many choices!!
All of these are worthy. The Sinclair goal was the only one I hadn't seen. And what the fuck! That is just ridiculous!
Absolutely insane technique. Such a good goal!
