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

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.

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!"

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?

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

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.

Let me help you out here:

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

It wasn't to provoke Riise. He was taking the piss out of the press for making a big deal of it.

I'm sure this was mentioned before but what about Titi Camara dedicating his goal to his father? He decided to play on instead of going back to Guinea for the funeral and when he scored he looked to the heavens, and he was in tears. He later said that his father would have wanted him to play on. I don't know how many players would have opted to play instead of attending the funeral.

John Arne Riise's trademark celebration ain't have bad either

Yes I do still remember that goal in the FA Cup pretty vividly. All celebrations have some significance right? Reckon he wants to be a pole dancer or perhaps he hits strip clubs a lot?
