I want to create a thread that simply lists the famous goals in history. 1) beautiful goals (anywhere from the World Cup Finals to the 2nd division in Bolivian) 2) goals that are not necessarily beautiful, but significant to the history of the game(eg. the "Hand of the God") 3) weird or funny goals(eg. Luis Martinez vs Poland, Roger Milla vs Colombia)

Puskas goal vs England in 1954. The legend of Puskas was born. The defender in question was Billy Wright.

Interesting idea for a thread. I'm looking forward to this. One thing I know is that Johan Cruyff was not the first player to execute a penalty this way. In 1978, Jürgen Grabowski passed the ball to a teammate the same way, however that teammate then scored and didn't pass it back to Grabowski.
The World Cup in 1986 was not only about Maradona's two goals vs England.

This goal is of the 3rd category, i.e funny or weird goal. This is a hilarious self goal by Tomislav Piplica, who otherwise is a decent keeper.
