This is a nice list of goals with skill and style but let's not forget the breathtaking exciting ones that made us spill a tray of drinks. Giggs V Arsenal would pop up again.

Grif SA · Feb 1, 2008

Giggs v Arsenal is already up on the list in "individual efforts".

Oh, and for future reference, just post up a link to the video, don't embed the video into the post. It makes it easier to open the thread.

Nice thread Grif, nice idea ...

RD4L - can you swap all these embedded videos for links please....

No offence but if everyone does it like you have...

It will take a week to scroll through it all ...

Thankyou ...

Well, I can't take all the credit. It was a discussion in the shoutbox about it. I just made the thread.

And now I have a question. Should goals go in more than 1 category? For example, Rooney v Newcastle was a long range strike and a volley. Any opinions?

I was asking myself this too ...

One of my favourites was Eric Cantona 'v' Wimbledon I think it was ...

Where the ball was passed to him and he caught it on his right foot ...

As it came down he smashes it into the net from about 25 metres !!

I'll leave it up to you guys ok

You make a nice job so far

Headers is a good one as its harder to think of great headers being scored rather than volleys but one that springs to my mind is (i know it was against us)

1. Crespo (AC Milan vs Man United)

you tought ronaldo's goal against pompey was good ?! then look at this one - !!! juninho - pure power and precision - more distance than ronaldo, and a better goalkeeper , he hits the same spot ronaldo hit !

CROoney · Feb 1, 2008

yup - or that one...and after seeing those goals I can't help feeling that we're a bit biased. I rate Juninho's highly than Tarnat's tbh, because he's done it on regular basis against the best bk's in the world

Nirk · Feb 1, 2008

Wheres Nanis goal in individual effort vs middlesbrough he ran half the field

akash_reds · Feb 1, 2008

Guest · Feb 1, 2008

Nice thread Grif, nice idea ... QUOTE]

LOL, I'm the one who thought up of this idea when we over @ the shoutbox yesterday night....... As I was too lazy & tired, it's 1.20 am & I hve to go to school the following day, I requested for anybody to help create this thread on my behalf.

Btw, this the best long-range shot ever - LINK

I've updated the first post with everything up to this post. And I've also made a new category, best hattricks. Added Rivlado's and Messi's.

And I also had a hard time adding Juninho's because I watched a video of his free kicks last night, they were all good...

And red_devils4life, I said I couldn't take all the credit.
