The Beckham Goal - without a shadow of doubt.

 

[Simon Morgan]

I actually think Alonso v Luton was a smashing goal.

But with no keeper to beat

But with no keeper to beat

I dunno, its obviously really difficult to actually get it in from that distance at a lower height, I think. He still had to bend it round one of the outfield players, rather than hitting it over all of them. Beckham's was arguably the better goal, but I think Alonso's Luton one required a lot of skill.

10th May 1995, Parc des Princes, Paris

With the Cup Winners Cup on a knife-edge in the 120th minute and with penalties beckoning, Arsenal stood a chance of becoming the only ever club to retain the trophy. Former Tottenham star, Nayim, had other ideas though, as he hopelessly aimed a shot from the halfway line towards Seaman, who was woefully out of position. Big Dave was embarrassingly lobbed from over 50 yards, gifting Real Zaragoza the trophy in the process. The first in a long line of costly Seaman blunders

Hence the justly famous 'Sun' headline: Seaman lobbed from halfway line. One of the great double-entendres of all time.

I think the fact that he's managed 2, and with different feet means get has to be appluaded

Possibly but it was the first time that had really happened, it was a great moment (and a great chant) and I can still remember dancing round my living room when it happened.

Baddiel & Skinners version, brilliant

 

[REDLAND]

XABI ALONSO vs Luton, just for Gerrards comedy reactions. Unfortunatly you don't get to see them on that clip..

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Nayim's goal from (almost) the half way line was by far the most important one in the cup winners cup final.

 

[Gazwag]

actually I think mine from when I was at school beat the lots of them, straight from the kick off it was, although I did notice their keeper was mucking about with the corner flag just before I hit it

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

you FOOLS

anyone who knows ANYTHING knoews that backs goal was easily the best. he had to beat the keeper.

alonsos against luton i could do in with an open field!

and against newcastle the keeper fell over!

beckhams was pure class
