Best England goal ever.....

[Mick Mac]

For me it was a fruitless goal but I'll pop for:

Linekar equaliser against West Germany 1990.

Linekar for me was brilliant and that goal was a "cometh the hour cometh the man" moment and should really have put them in the best position to reach the world cup final, but it was not to be.

[mockney piers]

David platt? Worst player scores best goal?

I missed beckhams greece thing as I was in cuba, but Owen's against the Argies was pretty special.

Bobby Charlton against Mexico 1966, end of thread

[Mick Mac]

I agree to end the thread. If you are going to go back before most people were born then its a waste of time.

How old are you anyway?

[kpc]

History is still on the syllabus.

Edited to correct spelling.

Got to be one of the best v Brazil

['bout now]

Gascoigne V Scotland

*grabs tin hat*

Charlton's goal was timely and spectacular....but John Barnes' against Brazil in 1984 was simply breathtaking.

[Wilhelm]

Michael Owen versus Argentina?

[kpc]

No votes for David Nugent then.

Mick is too young to remember stuff like that so it doesn't count.But here it is anyway!

Michael Owen WC 1998 goal against Argentina

or maybe... David Platt last gasp winner against Belgium WC 1990

['bout now]

John Barnes's goal was great but it was in a friendly when we should have been playing in Euro '84 so I don't think counts.

How's about Shearer's (3rd) against the Dutch in 1996? A great team goal in a great team performance.

Still struggling against 'Ol comeover though.

[SimonM]

Oh I think it counts! It was agaiinst Brazil after all, and in their own backyard of the Maracana at that. Back in 1984 there was still some seriousness in friendlies, unlike the modern, dispiriting kind. A great goal is still a great goal, irrespective of what may or may not be at stake. A run-of-the-mill goal cannot become great simply because it was crucial.

Disqualified. It's not an England goal.........it's lots of goals.You're out.

Gazza - Euro 96

[????]

Or this one that got us to thw world Cup for the first time in 12 years...

[Mick Mac]

i remember watching that goal live at the time. Sunday evening game?

[Keef]

Owen's '98 goal Vs Argentina, followed by Gazza's '96 goal against Scotland.

Also, whilst probably not the best,

has stuck in my mind.

[Jah Lush]

Out of these I'd go for Chris Waddle's followed by Michael Owen's and Gazza's against Scotland as I was at the match. Also worth a mention is Joe Cole's volley against Sweden a couple of years ago. I'll try and find it.

[Jah Lush]

[Keef]

Had forgotten that one, and yes, it was an absolute blinder!

[SimonM]

Blimey yes! Let's hope Fabio includes him in the final 23!
