Best ever goal celebrations that you have ever seen - whether it done by the players, keepers, coaches, managers, or even referees.
Share it out with the rest of the hardcore football fans here.
Everyone's welcome to do so - but please no bullcrap which could lead to trolling. Thanks!

My Choice:-

1. Ecuador striker Ivan Kaviedes' "Spiderman" masked tribute, paying tribute to his fallen teammate (I forgot who though).


2. Ex-Newcastle's Lua Lua with his awesome gymnastic display, somersaulting all his way to the corner flag.

3. Former Man Utd Lee Sharpe with his "Elvis Presley" impersonation - dancing / singing while holding the corner flag.

4. Arsenal's Thierry Henry with his long stare at the crowd after scoring his goals.

5. Former great Alan Shearer's macho outstretched arm. Raising his right arm after scoring.

6. And not forgetting Liverpool's Peter Crouch and his robo dance craze.

1.robo crouch
2. klose's trademark windmill jump
3. henrys 1 finger

shearers trademark right arm

1) Another dude that used to keep these awful masks in his socks only to wear them after he scores was Facundo Sava, formerly of Fulham

2) Bebeto's rocking the baby

3) Roger Milla's 'hip's don't lie' impersonations at the corner flag

4) Robbie's 'snorting cocaine' impersonation

5) All the players in the Brazilian team removing their jerseys to reveal t-shirts made in honour of the late Ayrton Senna at the 1994 World Cup I think it was

Hahahaha Fowler's snorting incident was really etched permanently into my memory. Among other memorable ones, Aghahowa the gymnast and Pandiani's toy gun.

Still cant forget the sight of a very young and hairy Ryan Giggs swinging his shirt and running down the touchline after scoring that wonder against Arsenal.

saw it recently, i think is last weeked epl game but forgot which team,
the goal scorer go pull out the corner flag, his teammate knee down infront of him, then use his corner flag knock his teammate's head and shoulder.. so funny

I remember seeing that to except I it wasn't to tap him on his head and shoulder for no reason ler. It's how people are Knighted in the UK, except they normally use a sword.

Knocking head and shoulder?
He was "knighting" him la

haha.. i see.. sorry wrong term

OMG.. forgot about this. Another classic as he did it on the white lines along the field. In the end he got fined anyway. LOL!

theres one brazilian game where the brazilian go polish a guys shoe but i dont really remember coz its a highlight from the espn channel

Robbie Keane's cartwheel celebration...
dunno whether falls under funny / weird categories, but it was unique

shearer's....all his goal celebration were the same, he must did it over 300 times then

Cantona 'arrogant' celebration But heck...it was a great goal...

Eric cantona starring at the crowd after he chip the ball

It's his trademark after all. Should've consider to patent it though.


Truly a great finishing by the King of OT.

Back to the topic.

I kinda like the way how Raul celebrates his goals - by kissing his wedding ring.
Must have melted lotsa women' hearts.

this was bernado corradi of the blue mancs....

hell,the greatest ever..game against soton...dribbled his way past 2 players....1-2 with mcclair and just chipped the ball with clipped the left post before going in...the look on his face,pure arrogance...haha..something henry is trying to imitate but will never succeed....

his celebration in a game against leed was nice too....he scored at the goal on the side of leeds fan....he just stood there in front of the leeds fans spreading his arms...before giggsy pulled him back...the leeds fans were jeering him like hell....my guest is they must have given him stick throughout the nite....

loved scholesy's celebration after scoring against inter milan in the 99 CL season too....fairly simple celebration but its not often u see him as animated as that....usually he's just cool after scoring...this time he was sorta 'humping'...haha

somebody celebrated by pointing the middle finger to the opposing crowd.....

cant remember who or where..

Klose backflip
Batistuta fires a machine gun
Fernando Torres ultraman stance

Roborouch surely, it is so lame i cant even forget it

-Eric the King staring at the crowd(epl)
-Becks after scoring against Greece
-Giggs against Arsenal in F.A Cup
-Totti takeover the cameraman place in Serie A game
-Paolo Wanchope screaming GOALLL!! at mic located in the sideline(epl)
-Real Madrid brazilian trio doingthe cokroach dance(la liga)
-Corradi Knight's celebration(epl)

Not to raise any controversy but it was a brilliant moment:

Riise sliding on his knees with his shirt tucked behind his neck revealing his six pack after scoring a scorcher past Barthez. This goal led to the song, "John Arne Riise, how did you score that goal...?...". Andy Gray went ballistic, "riiiSSEEEEEEEE", "You beauty!"

Haha...just to reply to and counter the above statement....

Martin Tyler...."Extra time looming large.But Manchester United have a corner.Gary Pallister calling for it,James can only fist it.It comes for Cantonaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!I dont believe it!!!!You just couldn't write this script!!!What a fairy story for Eric Cantona...."

See FA Cup Final 96....Cantona ran with the whole team chasing after him towards the Manchester United fans....clutching his shirt,showing true passion for the club.....

anyone remember Blackburn's Kuqi flying dive celebration last season?

That was the Volley (with a capital V) against Liverpool where they won 1-0 right?

second that...unchanged since ???? hhaha

I remember that. I was in tears after that went in and I ain't afraid to admit it.

I also remember when Robbie was playing for Man City. After he had scored in the derby against Man Utd, he gave the Man Utd fans a 4 finger salute (we had only won 4 then). It was a subtle yet significant celebration. A red through and through that Robbie.

I suppose it's natural to remember significant celebrations against your rivals eh?


Attached thumbnail(s)

since he was a southampton young lad

half volley...thru a crowd of players.....

that game was last season...and im pretty sure he showed 5 fingers.....the picture you've showed may be from a different game....the one where ronnie got sent off...

and with that...i counter with the gary neville pelvic thrust at OT last season....rio scored the goal though.....but the celebration from gary,well we all know what happened....

Indeed the 5 finger salute was last season. The 4 finger salute was obviously prior to that. It's shown at the end of this video ler, not that it matters. http://youtube.com/watch?v=AmY9Y8v6sho

obafemi martins with his multiple somersault.I remember when he was in Inter, he still did this even when his team was a goal down / lost on away goal rules that's the spirit

Ryan Giggs pulling up his shirt and waving it around whilst showing off his damn hairy chest after scoring "the goal" at the 1999 FA Cup semi final replay clash against Arsenal.

That celebration always come to my mind

Riise from Liverpool pull of the shirt, masking his face with the shirt and scratch off the field !!!

Hey bro, i have a video of that celebration... I remember reading in the ManU mag that reported everyone in the dressing room made fun of his hairy chest being shown live!

Don't forget Alan Shearer's trademark celebration... Simple as it is, who can forget Alan's running past the goal and raising his right hand up + showing that smile of his? This will forever be associated with Shearer, for sure!

And what about the Nazi salute by Paulo Di Canio?

cant remember which one of da laudrup brothers celebrated the goal by imitating da sleeping buddha during da '98 world cup... dat was memorable

for me,batistuta firing gun and another one his trademark is hand swing like "carrying a baby"

I always love the somersault celebration, regardless of who doing it.

Also loved Gerrards celebration after he scored the equalizing goal in the 06 FA Cup final. It was like he's saying "I'm your great leader, follow me"... whatever it was...

Henry silence the crowd celebrations... lolz...so cool ~
Crouch robo dance? simply become a joke later...
Gerrard goal celebration when score a screamer during CL qualifying round dat brought them through... ^^

i think it's michael.he did it at the sidelines right?

d bes n d mos controversial ---> fowler's sniff of god

I'm waiting for someone to climb the goal post and do something stupid there like...erm....sitting on top and swing their legs

Has anybody done that before?

i'll see again and again with Ryan Giggs goal againts Arsenal on the FA CUP semi final . I was just amazing and i cant forget it at all =.=
cheers mate

I rmb seeing a player doing that. Climb up the goal post and then swing his jersey. But that was after the game la. Prolly the referee will send him off if he does it during the game.

lol yea cant forget dat hairy chest
can't blame him for being over-elated... it was a GREAT goal

how about the baby assasin celebrations after scoring the late winner in 99 CL final

I've been saw a video but dunno wer where a player run toward the fans then the fans pull him by holding his head then another his team mates pull him out from there by holding his leg....like play man tarik tali lol....... hahha

Yeah, who could forget that, collar up, looking nonchalant with that proud face as if he scored that kind of goal all the time.
That's King Cantona folks.

King Eric : what happen? i score ka?

Ahaha, Cantona. The epitome of coolness. What a goal it was and he made it look like he does it in training day in day out

the Most Memorable Goal Celebration for me surely come from fowler ... really a unique celebration ...

raul kissin his ring is trademark

And the Bazooka celebration from the Man Utd players near the end of last season

oh ya...who actually started tat celebration 1st? and wat's da hidden message aa?

Means bomb the opponent goal mouth kaw kaw

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:



Here are more : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goal_celebration

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?
