Now there was a classic. An original as well.

Correct!!! He explained this only very recently on MoTD 2 when they selected 5 goal celebrations.

Is it true Lomana Lua Lua was advised not to continue his excellent somersault celebrations. Given the level of sport related or attributed deaths he would be advised to take such avice.

Roger Milla's celebrations. He was known for a somersault.

Maradona's drug induced celebration in USA 1994 in their 4-0 win over Greece.

Was it something to do with a (relatively minor) illness he suffered which required an ear drop or something?

Mickey Thomas' joyful attempt at a tumble into a handstand was both memorable and pathetic at Anfield in '89

Another standout was Northern Ireland International Sammy Nelson flashing his ar$e at the north bank in Highbury after scoring - you can't even lift your shirt these days!!

marco tardelli's screaming "no-no-no" run for italy against germans in the '82 wc final must be top three of all time

Cantona did the same Vs. Sunderland, Arrogance at it's finest

Rivelino and Jairzinho in 1970.

Stand facing the crowd with both fists punching the air at the same time. Looks a bit like a gorilla.

Yes - Marco Tardelli.

The Dutch in 74 had a habit of kicking the ball back into the net after it rebounded out. Neeskens done it in the final.

Worst - anyone remember Mick Channon and his windmill arm.

I love Eidur Gudjohnsens celebration, it's hard to describe it, just a little hand motion thingy he does, it's pure class.

Maradonas insane celebration in '94 was fantastic too but Roger Millas dog ****ing on the corner flag one is hard to beat.

A personal favourite though was Jason Byrnes v Bohs last year, just went over to their fans who were chanting at him all night and stood there looking at them with no expression on his face at all, arms outstretched. Brilliant.

Actually does anyone remember the Newcastle player who just went insane and started kicking the sponsorship boards? That was class

**Macy** · 09/05/2005, 2:57 PM

Mark Hughes v Liverpool, Semi Final Replay, Maine Road, 1985.

Jan Aage Fjortoft (remember him?!) had the aeroplane celebration. 'Twas fairly popular back in the day!

**Junior** · 09/05/2005, 3:15 PM

Ghod - scoring his 50th against the forces of darkness at Ibrox

Lee sharpe - elvis impersonation at the corner flag

**Karlos** · 09/05/2005, 3:25 PM

Wrighty's '179 Just done it' t-shirt was class even though he cocked it up by displaying it after 178 goals - lucky that he got a hat-trick that day in the end!

Romario, Bebeto and Branco (i think) rocking the baby after Bebto's goal against Holland in '98

Tony Adams pointing to his bandaged head after scoring against Ipswich in the FA Cup. 2 nights previous he had fallen down the stairs of a Romford Nightclub!! Nice one

Stuart Pearce after his penalty against Spain, pure emotion.

Not exactly a player celebration, but Mick McCarthy's face before, during and after Keane's goal against Germany in 2002 is one I'll never forget!!

Some bad ones: david platt's 'jazz hands - esque' celebration that he used to do after scoring - brutal!

Ryan Giggs pulling his shirt off - besides the fact THAT goal hurt alot - he should come with a government health warning!! for a moment I thought the aul lad had flicked to the discovery channel for a show about espaced Neanderthal apes!!
