Barry Horne - Everton vs Wimbledon 1993.

Everton needed a win to avoid relegation but slipped 2-0 down early on. Graham Stuart scored a dubious penalty as half-time approached. Then Horne's curling right-foot 67th minute wonder strike brought him his only goal of the season. Hans Segers then let in a weak Graham Stuart pot-shot before being arrested for taking bungs to throw matches. You picked a great game to throw Mr Segers.

Here's video of him scoring when playing for my Sevilla

I just found an excellent site with video of tons of excellent goals. It's actually a fifa website, just go to www.fifaworldcup.com. Here's a link to video of the 50 best goals in world cup history.

Soccer blows.

For the American soccer fan:

Clint Mathis' 80 yard run in 2001 was incredible. Better than Maradona's in terms of pure beauty, but it was on a lesser stage against lesser competition.

Paul Caliguiri's goal in WC 1990 Qualifying in Trindad/Tobago. It was a decent goal (IIRC, a one-time shot from outside the penalty box) but it's beauty lies in it directly led to WC 94 coming to the US, MLS being formed, and the current status as the US as a legitimate soccer team.

Wild Card: Mathis' goal against Korea in WC'02. A total enigma, but this guy can score some highlight reel goals in between glaring at his coach, grabbing his crotch, then pointing at his watch indicating he should play more often.

I searched for videos of all these, but no dice.

As a Bruins fan (but not a big hockey fan since the '80's), this goal isn't quite up there as great because the Bruins swept the Stanley Cup Finals that year.

Trading Orr was no big deal. His knee was hamburger by then. It's sad. But, not a big deal.

I'm not much of a soccer fan. So, my vote goes for this one too. It's an iconic moment in American women's sports.

That's a sweet site.

I like the one Rivelino goal where the guy on his own team gets into the wall, he kicks it straight at him and he falls out of the way to let it through. Sick.

I thought I was one of the only ones who thought this was for hockey. I have watched one live pro soccer game in my life, the Tampa Bay Mutiny vs some other team, and there wasn't one goal the entire match. We even sat through the overtime and there wasn't one goal.

Does this type of goal count?
