    I just watch Branco since 1993 and saw he mostly scored from a long-range free-kick.
    I think I should make clearer about the topic "Long-Range Shooters Ever" which excludes free-kick taker.

    @Dearman what is your criteria for player inclusion in your list? Did you look at Jorg Albertz or does he not qualify?

    I can remember how superb powerful long-shot from his footage in some occasions.
    For the clip you provide, I just count only four of them as a long-shot goal and most of goals in the clip was kicked in the line of penalty box area.
    he also made it in only club level when he won 3 caps and scored no goal.
    So then it is difficult to put him among best ever in either term of performance or skill.

    No problem. I'm not exactly a fan of him but he always stuck in my mind as a player who was always dangerous when given room to strike a ball from distance.

    Someone I noticed wasn't mentioned in this thread, Alvaro Recoba. What a mean shot he had, a real threat from 30 yards, from open play and free kicks.

    nedved and maybe robson, matthäus or gerrard are missing.
    eusebio is by far the best imho.
