´óÏó´«Ã½

Didier Drogba vs Wigan two years ago - played the corner flag as a guitar while Malouda stood over playing drums, a reference to their band together.

Or Rafael Van der Vaart this year vs Arsenal

Or Rafael van der Vaart vs Arsenal this year.

All good, but I reckon Brian Glover in Kes would top the lot..

Hey what about GREATEST EVERRRRRRR RIGHT BACK!!!!


I want to know how you are gonna justify Glen Johnson

Talk about milking the 20th annerversary of Sky TV

Will it be favourite substition followed by sending off next?

The only one that matters for me was the original "King"....the great Denis Law,scores a goal and with his left hand clutchung his cuff,he would point to the heavens with the index finger on his right hand.
Supreme player.
All other celebrations pale into insignificance!

From that list I'd go for 2:

Bullard's team talk celebration was hilarious, sums up the cheeky chappy.

However, for style, Cantona's one has to be the best. After a quality goal like that it was a perfect way to celebrate. Some might say it was arrogant, but definitely worthy of the King.

Also, you think after all those years managing that SAF would have learned how to celebrate by now. He still looks like he's got no clue, like an excitable wee boy.

that was before football was invented.

Ravanelli. Half our school celebrated with shirt over head for years!

Fowler line sniff v everton in 99 after he smashed in the pen. Job done. Finished. Next topic.

Surely Peter Crouch's robot celebration should be on the list!?

(Or was that not in a Premier League match? I honestly can't remember)

I think it was Utd v Arsenal in '98, Overmars just scored and the camera cut to a guy in the crowd with curly hair screaming his head off, that one always stuck with me

Not premier league, but Mourinho shushing the scousers in the Carling Cup.

Beautiful.

None of them know how to celebrate a goal properly. Sod the overpaid Premiership stars, this is how to celebrate a goal properly....



Take a boo Craig Beattie.

Not premier league, but in my opinion one of the best goal celebrations; christiano luccaretti for livorono. He took off his shirt, lay it out on the ground, then climbed on top of it and started humping it! :p

Surely the Joey Barton getting knighted by the corner flag is the best ever for Man City and i'm a Utd fan!!

Is this article for real? I'm not sure why the ´óÏó´«Ã½ is jumping on their main TV rivals bandwaggon by pretending that football began in 1992. Who cares about 'the best Premiership goal celebration'? I mean really, what about the best Premiership dive? Or the longest Premiership feigned injury? Maybe the Premierships most ridiculous sending off? One thing is for sure and that is our national game is fastly becomming a national joke. The failed appeal by QPR over a sending off for an Ashley Young dive just gave license for that 'sportsman' to do exactly the same the following week. The FA needs to up its game and articles such as this deflect from the fact that the beautiful game is fast becomming a pantomime in which goal celebrations and dives are practiced with more passion on the training ground than a set piece free kick.

Jose Mourinho's - when he slide on his knees at the Nou Camp after Drogba had scored! What a legend.........

@ # 19...

Good point, well made!

How sad can it get? Not only are the ´óÏó´«Ã½ running a series of pointless 'best of the Premiership' polls (older fans do know that there was a LOT of football before the EPL was forced on us), but now we sink even lower to best 'goal celebration'. What next? Most spectacular dive? Best histrionics after minimal contact?

Who cares!?

Before TV arrived you just saluted a goal and moved on, before Sky arrived a bit of hugging was just about bearable, now we have pointless, time wasting antics better suited to a WWF ring than a football field.

'Best Celebration'?

None.

Apologies to RedDwarf5, I didn't read your excellent post before I posted.

Adebayor for Man City against Arsenal surely....

It's got to be Bolo Zenden trying to do the Gyan dance in Sunderland's 3-0 win agaisnt Chelsea. Best celebreation ever! It was so bad it was just awesome!

Jesper Blomqvist when he scored his debut gaol for United against Everton at Goodison...

Just done some weird handwave which made his arm look like a kingfisher...

Only goal he scored I think lol....

Van nistelorooy v Arsenal in the Pizzagate match just pure emotion!!!...

Ronaldo v Lisbon just turned and shrugged his shoulder to say well there you go!! (not premier league of course)

Henry v Liverpool when he held his hand to nose as if to say he could sniff that chance coming.

WHY
ALWAYS
ME

Not a goal celebration, but surely Martin Keown vs Van Nistelorooy deserve a mention, pure relief/madness mixed into one!

Has to be the 100 yards dash by ade against arsenal

WHY ALWAYS ME - coming from a united fan


19. and 22. football has moved on, its more entertaining and you can now watch all the excitement on your big screen tv in your livin room. If that is no longer your cup of tea i suggest you watch cricket..........

Adebayor getting a barm cake and a stool thrown at him by some bitter mockneys.

Best celebration ever was Marco Tardelli in the 1982 world cup final.
It was pure emotion not soon contrived pre-planned nonsense.

Best celebration ever? This not premiership but who cares, it's great!

Who was the Liverpool player gesturing to the press box? I don't remember that!!

PS: It has to be Chelsea's team pose. Cannot believe it's not shortlisted.

@19 & 22

I understand the point you make and it does seem a bit out of touch, but to most of us it's simply a harmless discussion over some very intriguing subjects.

Being awarded 'Best Celebration' won't mean anything, but it's a lot of fun remembering all the amusing ones we've seen over the years. And I'm sure if King Eric wasn't given the award, he'd just shrug again!

Not the Premier League, but check out Stjarnan Reykjavík's repertoire from Iceland...full marks for originality!

19 and 22 are spot on.

We shouldn't be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the start of something that is killing English football.

Sadly though the ´óÏó´«Ã½ is gradually morphing into a Sky Sports Lite with MOTD regularly featuring more hype than action, and a determination to ignore pretty much any other league and time period in football, so I'm not surprised.

Yes I am bias as a blue but two who should at least have a mention are,
Tim Cahill's corner flag punching routine, and
Duncan Ferguson's shirt off and swing around the head while flexing biceps against Man U in 95.

The greatest celebration however is yet to come, thepromised riot that will take place among Everton fans when Tony Hibbert finally scores a goal!

Nani needs to be included? just as good as lua lua!

How has everyone and anyone forgotten the best one going!?!

Ryan Giggs.... Nope not the FA Cup shirt waving one..... The one he performed with the Guvnor Paul Ince!!! That was repeated on the school fields in my day!

A close 2nd for me is Sharpey (all of them!)

If only the Icelandic team were in the Prem!

Corradi for Man City when he knighted Joey Barton using the corner flag, genius.

In fact can I vote for Shola Ameobi right at the end of the vid?

Matt Le Tissier, after regularly scoring goals only half a dozen people on the planet would be capable of scoring, would simply turn round & trot back to the halfway line, understated genius!

Not premiership but Craig Bellamy's "golf swing" against Barca in the Nou Camp!!

KLINSMANN the dive earning the free kick and the dive after scoring from it

Gerrard kissing the badge and the camera was hilarious...especially as he ended the season without a Premier League winners medal AGAIN! For me the best is Lua Lua's. I had never seen a celebration like that before he came along.

What on earth is Shearer doing on here? The man's celebration refects his personality to a tee....dull and boring!

Cantona all day long. Pure theatre and only one man who could carry it off. It has that extra bit of 'je ne sais quoi' that sets it apart.

Alan Shearer is a misfit. Robbie Keane trade mark tumble and shoot IMO deserves a mention

Surprised Nani isn't on the list. My vote goes to Bullard followed by King Eric.

@35.

It's not a matter of being simply harmless fun. It's the Beebs sleeping with the enemy that is Sky that is the most disturbing.

@30.

I think you'll find cricket has been sky-jacked too.

Can't remember the game but Faustino Asprilla taking off his jersey, putting it over the corner flag and waving it like a flag. Well worth the yellow card, surprised it wasn't mentioned

Asprilla had a few great ones, the cartwheel was my favourite.

Thierry Henry was standing in front of a free kick in 05/06 season. He wanted it taken quickly, but the ref wouldn't allow it. After a little sulk he stepped back and curled it into the net and then immediately turned to one the T.V. cameras AND yelled "Is that enough!"

Classic Henry!!

Also Christiano Ronaldo's celebration after his free kick goal against Portsmouth, he even surprised himself with that one

fernando torres vrs chelsea when he scored,ran to the corner and sat chanting style.

outwith the premier league....bebeto in world cup 94.....how many kids were running about parks and schools celebrating like that? for me Shearer's, no matter how simple, is the best.....no need for over lavish celebrations trying to out do one another...their paid lavish enough wages....although, take a bow Jimmy Bullard for the team talk/telling off on the pitch celebration!

As it was original and also a trade mark why is Tim Cahill boxing the corner flag not on here?

But Bullard's telling off was clearly the best
