Top 5 goals of all-time?

Football loving indie-popsters The Futureheads searched YouTube for the ultimate goals.

Yesterday, Ross Milliard told us about how he's managed to find time for his football fandom whilst on tour. Today, he's lobbed these over to us thise Youtube links from the road...

And DiS wonders, can you find five goals better than these?

Dejan Savicevic – AC Milan v Barcelona

Marco Van Basten – Holland v USSR

Rene Higuita – River Plate v Atletico Nacional

Zinedine Zidane – Real Madrid v Bayer Leverkusen

Henrik Larsson – Celtic v Rangers

Do this

for every band you interview please.

p.s. They appear to have omitted Dennis Bergkamp vs Argentina from WC98. I assume they'll want to remedy this error. Either that or this list is technically wrong.

The music is pretty lame but a lot of good goals that you don't see on every single highlight package or Sky 'greatest goals' show.

poor choice

for the best, i mean it's a good goal, but not the best.

No Metgod?

That free-kick against West Ham was uncredible, it was still rising as it hit the back of the net, and the celebration, amazing!

the commentating on that zidane goal is hilarious

not as good as the Bergkamp WC98 where the dutch commentator sounds like he's having an orgasm. but still pretty pretty good.
