ooo...so tat's wat they mean lar....bt i remember oni few did it...it last for a few matches oni... i remember vidic and ronaldo did it....tat's all.. btw, vidic looks cool doin it...

Anyone remember Facundo Sava and his masks? Pulls one out from his sock each time he scored, which wasn't too often to the benefit of visitors to Craven Cottage.

Roger Milla who at the ripe old age of 40, still could sway those hips as he celebrated his goals in the 1990 World Cup, dancing with the corner flag.

Steven Gerrard going absolutely bonkers after scoring against rivals, Everton. He ran past the fans with his tongue sticking out, then cupping his ears as if to say, "say what?, who scored?", before stopping an pointing to his name at the back of his kit. Yeah, the one against Olympiacos was a brilliant one as well and sent Anfield into mass hysteria as his brilliant strike secured qualification to the group stages at the expense of Olympiacos of course.

And one of the Laudrup brothers (can't remmbr was it Brian or Michael?) who did the Sleeping Buddha after scoring in the 98 World Cup

Let me help you out here:

Haha good stuff Duke Red. Thanks. I did vaguely remember reading somewhere the celebration originated from the lads playing a video game, couldn't recall which

cool..thx for da explanation....

Cheer mates but don't thank me, thank Wikipedia!

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Fowler's "smackhead" celebration springs to mind. Running to the touch line smacking his head and then proceed to snort the white lines at the touch. In response of the taunts of smackhead from the Everton fans. What better way to reply? Scoring against them and a boss goal celebration to boot.

i think he's penalised for tat celebration....isn't he?

Yeah got banned for 6 matches, but that is together with his wiggling of the arse at Graeme Le Saux, all within about 2 weeks of each other. Got hauled up the displinary board and given a 6 match ban.

talk of trademark celebrations is never completed without the mention of the L'Aeroplanino.

Ahh, Montella, btw where is he now?

Currently on loan at Sampdoria if I'm not mistaken. He did have a short stint with Fulham but after Coleman got sacked I guess he was showed the door

I remember one goal celebration from the 2006 World Cup.
Vincenzo Iaquinta scores the 2nd goal in Italy's 2-0 triumph over Ghana.
He ran with his arms wide apart, screaming with his tears in his eyes before covering his face in his palms in disbelief before sliding onto the grass.
I used to have the slo-mo close up caption of his face, indescribable passion that put me in tears too!

Another one that stick to mind was Gabriel Batistuta, while playing for Roma, scoring the only goal against his old club, Fiorentina, refusing to celebrate and pushing the team mates away, running back to the centre circle with tears streaming down his cheeks. Absolute show of loyalty and love for the club. Even stuck by the club when they were in Serie B, when he was one of the best strikers of that era. Total respect for that guy. Only moving to Roma to win a league title, as there's no chance of him winning it at Fiorentina, cemented his place in the history of Fiorentina, they even build a statute of him outside of the stadium.
