No1: Paul Gascoigne
The build-up to Euro 96 saw England’s stars photographed on a lads night out in Hong Kong. Gascoigne and Teddy Sheringham were both snapped downing booze in a dentist’s chair. So when Gazza scored THAT goal against Scotland at Wembley, there was only one way to celebrate
No2: Eric Cantona
Who could forget Cantona’s brilliant chip against Sunderland in the 1996-97 season? The Frenchman had beaten three men before taking a return pass and lobbing the keeper from the edge of the area. Cantona simply stopped and savoured the moment, with the expression of a man that was the master of his art.
No3: Marco Tardelli
Scoring for your country in the World Cup final can see you transform back into a child – just ask Tardelli. The Italian followed up his strike in 1982 by going off on a memorable run, screaming his own name like you would on the playground. And who could blame him?
No4: Stuart Pearce
After missing a penalty to England out of the World Cup in 1990, you could have forgiven Pearce for not fancying another crunch shoot-out. But when England’s Euro96 quarter-final with Spain went the distance, Psycho stepped up once again. The left-back smashed the ball in from the spot to erase six years of pain – his celebration went straight to the heart of every Englishman.
No5: Craig Bellamy
Bellers may have his detractors – but you can’t deny he has a cracking sense of humour. The ‘Nutter with the Putter’ was in hot water before Liverpool’s clash at Barcelona last season after an alleged attack on team-mate John Arne Riise with a golf club. Bookies responded by offering odds of 100-1 that the Welshman would celebrate any goal with a swing – and sure enough, Bellamy did the business.
No6: Peter Crouch
The lanky Liverpool frontman first cut the moves on a dancefloor at the Beckham’s pre-World Cup bash last year. And they proved so popular that Crouch decided to share them with the public, celebrating his strikes against Hungary and Jamaica with some body-popping. But the freaky dancer decided enough was enough and announced he was retiring the move unless England won the World Cup. Shame.
No7: Jurgen Klinsmann
Tottenham legend Klinsmann arrived in England with a reputation for diving – and he proved it to be true on his debut. The German scored a stunning header against Sheffield Wednesday and promptly ran to the Spurs fans for a dive to remember.
No8: Roger Milla
Who could forget veteran Cameroon striker Milla setting the 1990 World Cup alight with his brilliant wiggle? The 38-year-old grabbed four goals to guide the Africans out of the group stages – all celebrated with his hilarious hip gyrating by the corner flag. The stuff of legend.
No9: Temuri Ketsbaia
Newcastle forward Ketsbaia left fans concerned for his mental health after he scored against Bolton in 1999. The Uncle Fester lookalike ripped off his shirt, ran over to an advertising board and started kicking lumps out of it.
No10: Facundo Sava
Remember Sava? He was Fulham’s Argentine striker who pulled on a Zorro mask to celebrate each of six goals during a two-year spell at Craven Cottage. Yep, that’s him – the complete oddball.
Kiko Macheda debut goal celebration is right up there with the top 10.
