Another couple of good ones would be Jimmy Glass for Carlisle United to keep them in the Football League - top quality feel good moment, an on-loan GK keeping a team in the FL with an injury time winner. Also Helmut Rahn to win the 1954 World Cup for West Germany denying arguably the real greatest ever team to never win the World Cup, Hungary's Mighty Magyars.
Omam Biyik's goal for Cameroon vs. Argentina in 1990 - the goal / match where African football truly emerged
I laughed like **** when that one went in- memories of the cheating argy ****s from 86 still lingered. Have to say Cameroon were a set of righty dirty ****s........ remember when Claudio Caniggia the so-called 'Figlio del Vento' nearly had his leg broken 3 times in the same dribble. Shocking- a new level in live televised football thuggery.
Alcides Ghiggia He's best known for silencing home support at the Maracana stadium in the 1950 World Cup, scoring the 79th-minute winner for Uruguay against Brazil in a 2-1 victory. 200,000 attendance Brazil lost in their own stadium in a WC final, this one helped shape the story of modern football. Brazillians call it the "Maracanazo" or national tragedy and it surpasses even Germany's 7-1 there as an iconic moment.
For sheer elation - Becks vs Greece and Deano vs Brizzle For sheer entertainment - Collywobble vs Newcastle For sheer despair (with a grudging side of admiration) - Maradonna vs Engerland - the legal/good one where he made Peter Reid and the defence look like pub players
You mean that guy that couldn't be arsed to play for half the season. A ****ing disgraceful show from a team who had won the league the previous season. It worked for your lot though as it helped you win the league. Congrats btw on that
This generation wouldn't believe some of the things that used to go on back in the day, players didn't even get booked for it. You could see it the other night when Alves got sent off, people don't remember how brutal the game used to be at times.
good call & to back up your argument, BBC has the 1954 Hungary team down as statistically the best ever.. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36387046
I was the linesman that day, you handled it & were offside but the tendonitis in my right arm prevented me from lifting the flag..
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Michael Thomas goal in the Liverpool vs Arsenal in the title decider in 1989.
For sheer shock and awe - Geovanni at the Emirates, a goal that raised our profile to another level. All other goals around the world were **** after that honest
