Hey Burmby, in your avatar, whats that thing on Warnes head? Im stumped.
Hair growth process by use of technology Warne showed off in England. And he said it worked as well. Hair enhancing drugs? Make your own decision!

If by "top goal" you mean "outrageous fluke", then yes, yes it was.
Ronaldinho still can't decide whether or not he meant it though - he's changed his mind about 4 times in interviews since it happened. It was definitely a fluke though.

Henry v Tottenham 2002/03. Seriously ran 80 yards.

Henry v Liverpool 2003/04. Brilliant run from halfway at a vital time.

Freddy Adu scored an unbelievable one for his team this weekend - he got the ball in the centre circle, flicked it backwards over his and a defender's heads, sprinted on goal, cut through two defenders and slotted it in the far corner with a finish worthy of an Henry or a Ronaldo. The kid really does have some talent - shame he's being wasted in the USA.

Best football goal.. I remember spitting out what I was drinking, falling to the floor and making weird noises. I was that amazed..

I reckon it should definitely be up there. Heaps of awesome events are flukes, if they weren't you'd see them a lot more often..

In rugby league, Mathew Head's goal from the sideline against the Roosters in the ANZAC Day match earlier this year as well as Hazem El Masri's against the Knights a few seasons ago.

In aussie rules, Aussie Jones' behind against the Lions last year (Not a goal, but a match winner that ****ed off Brisbane :p)

In association football, Marco Bresciano's last night against Jamacia :D

Beckham's is clearly better than goofy's. For a start it was further out by at least 10 yards and it was from open play against a more agile keeper. Seaman in WC ' 02 just reminded me of Shilton against Andy Brehme in Italia ' 90, i.e unable to move his legs.

He was always a bit prone to the odd foul-up. I remember "Nayim from the halfway line" back in 1995 Cup Winners Cup Final. Ex-Tw@ttenham muppet too. Bad times. :no: :p

Yeah but best goals are done on-purpose, any footballer will tell you that. Otherwise the best goal ever was scored by Pat Jennings against Man Utd for Spurs in 1967 at OT from his own area. End of story.

Exactly. Good shot stopper but the one of the worst judgers of high balls i've ever seen. His brain only registered the lob when it had entered the 6yd area. Unfortunately for you. :p

Ronaldinho's goal v Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is one of my personal favourites. Not so much how far it went from or the curl on it, but because he had no back lift of his right leg which gave Chelsea goal keeper Petr Cech no chance. He just twisted his ankle and chipped into the net at the far corner.

Manche for Portugal v Holland at last year's European Championships. That was a special goal.

Luck or not, fluke or not, they were still pretty good goals whether or not they meant it or flukes. SOmetimes they are the best ones, total flukes.
