I was actually looking for a Pires goal against Blackburn in the FA Cup 2000/01 that I recall from the time and saw again on ESPN Classic recently (he controls a cross-field pass from Wiltord, taking it down with one touch and shoots into the far corner). Anyway we can make do with these two instead (don't think I've posted either on the thread yet - maybe the Marseille one but apologies if so, and the Tottenham game is also in 2000/01 actually): [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM0ofR2XKQA"]Pires vs tottenham 1998/2000 season - YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z788t5zGIqQ"]Robert Pires Incredible Goal Om Vs Chelsea - YouTube[/ame] Zola vs Man Utd in '97: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiyfgqJdqOE"]Gianfranco Zola solo goal Vs Man Utd (1997) - YouTube[/ame] And vs England in the same year: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcDEOYWu80E"]England-Italy 0-1 (Zola) - Wembley 1997 - YouTube[/ame] Michael Laudrup for Lazio vs Verona in 83/84: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7WxXu_6xh8"]Verona - Lazio 83-84 Gol Laudrup 1 - YouTube[/ame] And again: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBo6ZHVHSl8"]Verona Lazio 83 84 Gol Laudrup 2 - YouTube[/ame] Socrates in WC '82: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZmS6t5QZNE"]Socrates, goal vs USSR - YouTube[/ame] Mendeita volley for Valencia: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws_JxsBCfc8&feature=related"]Gaizka Mendieta Great Goal - YouTube[/ame] Gullit for Chelsea: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCkciwltGEs"]Gullit great goal against Man City - YouTube[/ame]
This thread's been ruined a bit by the change-over but here's a selction of goals by playmakers to kick it off again:
A selection shown on Football Focus (a British football preview TV show) in late 1986: I'm not saying they are indeed the indisputed best 20 between 1953 and 1986 (obviously a large number of British goals in there, and quite a few drives from outside the box) but it would be interesting to compare them to 20 from the years since (Weah's length of pitch goal, Van Basten's from Euro 88 etc).
This is just hilarious. The match supposed to be a divisional playoff. The keeper though he saved the penalty.
Eberhard Vogel of East Germany scores a legendary goal with the outside of his left foot from a corner kick in Warsaw, 28 June 1964, in a Olympic Qualifier between East Germany and the Soviet Union (4-1).
Neat goal scored by Mauro Bellugi in the European Cup game between Inter Milano and Borussia Mönchengladbach at San Siro (4-2). His goal is at 3:05.
Indeed, I hate these changes like a plague. This is always happening when the forum is redesigned. But if you can edit your posts you can make it work again like this: Robert Pires Incredible Goal Om Vs Chelsea Zola vs Man Utd in '97: And vs England in the same year: Michael Laudrup for Lazio vs Verona in 83/84:
I would like to quote this as I just found out that this goal of Mauro Bellugi which you can see at 3:05 was not only exceptional because it was such a spectacular goal, no, amazingly, in his whole senior carer - which lasted from 1969 to 1981 - in all 306 competitive games (including caps) this was the only goal he ever scored! But what a goal!
