MOTD Top 10 goals

[Derby Wolf]

Just watching the MOTD top ten with Shearer, Wright and Lineker.

They're doing their top ten PL and FA Cup games and figured it might be a fun topic on here as there have been so many great goals it's hard to pick.

Wright and Shearer for instance had no place for Beckham v Wimbledon or Scholes v Villa.

Or Rae v Bolton you can have a wildcard for your favourite Wolves PL/FAC goal.

I'd go

1) Yeboah v Liverpool
2) Bergkamp v Leicester
3) Scholes v Bradford
4) Ginola v Barnsley (FA Cup)
5) Le Tissier v Newcastle
6) Payet v Middlesbrough
7) Scholes v Villa
8) De Bruyne v Newcastle
9) Henry v Spurs
10) Gerrard v West Ham (FA Cup)

11) Jimenez v Watford (FA Cup)

Really tough! the Di Canio goal v Wimbledon is omitted, as is Giggs in the FA Cup Semi, Henry v Yanited etc etc.

No place for Sinclairs overhead kick..??!!!

Its a shame football wasn't invented until the Premier League started. Otherwise Ernie Hunts free kick against Everton in 1970 would have been in there. The old grey matter isn't what it was, but I think it was voted goal of the season.

As for the above list, Bergkamps against Leicester would be my no1.

Le Tissier vs Newcastle is number one for me, it’s pure genius, Bergkamp even admitted he didn’t mean the flick. Le Tissiers best goals make even Neves look ordinary, most talented English player since Gaza’s, maybe even more so

I didn't know that Bergkamp didn't mean to do that flick. I have always thought it was a touch of genius. I agree with you regarding Le Tissier, one of the most talented players I have ever seen, who scored some great goals from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Another of my favourites (before football was invented) was Hoddle's goal against Watford back in 1983:

There is no denying that Hoddle was a truly great player, whatever the opinions on other aspects of his life may be.

Remember it well but seem to think it was disallowed?

Yeah. The best of the best goals for me are the ones that just can’t be done by 99.9% of players. I’m not dismissing the volleys on the list by any means, but if it falls right, and they catch it right, a lot of players can score those goals. Even Andros Townsend.

The likes of Le Tissier, Bergkamp, Di Canio and Ginola scored goals other players couldn’t. Same with Sinclair’s OHK.

Ian Wright clarified this last night when he said it wasn’t that he didn’t mean it, but that his instincts led to him going the opposite way round Dabizas once he’d flicked it the other. The quick thinking and coolness of finish is what makes the goal so special.

I still think his Leicester goal was at least on a par, if not better.

The goal stood, but the routine was banned. Didn't they say that Willie Carr touched it twice before Hunt scored.

 

[wallace]

Was the
george ndah goal v Leicester where he turned and ran at their whole defense in the FA Cup. Either way it was a great goal.

 

[The Professional]

Another of my favourites (before football was invented) was Hoddle's goal against Watford back in 1983:

Remember watching that on telly at my Nan’s when I was 9. Must’ve been highlights, as it couldn’t have been on live tv.

 

[Tring Wolf]

This was outrageous...

 

[Derby Wolf]

No place for Sinclairs overhead kick..??!!!

I didn't want to just copy the list from MOTD so omitted it but it's a super strike.

With hindsight I should've given the MOTD list and asked people to share other great goals they loved.

A very talented player was Le Tiss, his 1st against Newcatsle was very good but the ball still fell very nicely for him each flick. No one I have seen strikes a shot harder and truer than Neves, well Jota is on par but from closer range.

This was outrageous...

Not quite in the top corner.

Behave! completely different

Le Tiss was a class act and scored some great goals. However, the Neves goal vs Derby is the best individual goal that l have ever seen. It was technically brilliant and he made something bloody difficult look easy.

I prefer the technique he used against Espanyol, the Derby goal was brilliant, but he said afterwards he'd only attempted it, because if he lost the ball Derby were in on the break.

The chest n volley, whilst under pressure was premeditated, if Rooney, Aguero etc had done it, it would be still be shown everywhere now, Twitter would have shut down.

Edited to add: It was no fluke either. He was able to recreate it on TV easily, unlike others who tried.
