Or Mcallisters late one at Goodision, considering how far it travelled it was bound to slow down, but I don't think it was hit too hard to begin with!

First one I thought of, the sort of sneaky, creeping and crawling free kick that snuck over the line... :D

I wouldnt say he played it fair, today he would have had about 12 red cards in his career maybe more but it was an era where it was eat or be eaten

Funny thing about that clip, the clearance from the arsenal defender is pathetic, McMahon keeping it in when it would have been our throw seemed a bit mad or a bit headless chicken but it ended up brilliant


Yeah you’re probably right he wouldnt get away with the half of it now, but in that era he played it well.

I think that’s why that goal stuck out, it was a throw in if he let it go out of play, but the hunger to do what he did and to keep the attacking pressure on is what I loved about it.

For a player to be good enough to play for Liverpool, he must be prepared to run through a brick wall for me then come out fighting on the other side.

Or John Barnes at Southampton in the ecru kit when Dave Beasant kicked him to him from out near the touchline and he side footed it back in from about 40 yards!

Robbie Fowler against Villa March 96 - cheeky little flick past the defender and scored from about 25 yards. Loved that goal and spent hours trying to recreate down the astro.

So many to choose from, but for me it has to be Gerrard's missile against West Ham. It was pure Roy of the Rovers stuff and he'd already single handedly dragged us back into that game, was struggling with cramp, and West Ham had one hand on the cup. The fact that the stadium PA was announcing the added time just as he struck it only served to add to the drama. He had to hit that shot perfectly, at that angle, with that power, from 35 yards through a crowd of players. Its not just our best last minute goal, but probably the best cup final goal ever for any team.

The goal actually gets better every time I watch it, and it's just completely mental by any standards. I count at least 11 players in between him and the goal, excluding the keeper. The clock's ticking down, the west ham fans are whistling, he's miles out, running sideways onto a bouncing ball, and there's really only one place he can put it to save the cup final. He channels every last fibre of his body into that ball, and it was the goal that defined him as a player and a leader, and epitomised everything he did for us. That's what elevates it for me.

The other reason its so memorable for me is because I was at a friend's house (Spurs supporter), and he'd been winding me up all game as West Ham kept going ahead. I was pacing across his lounge as the clock counted down, and when Gerrard's equaliser hit the back of the net I completely lost it, and started jumping around screaming and swearing like a lunatic. So much so, I forgot his 2 year-old daughter was sat quietly playing in the corner and she burst into tears. It was about a year before she would say hello to me again  ;D

Well said. It’s an incredible goal in any game, at any time but when you throw in all the content around it, it’s very hard to beat it.

It’s why all those pricks from other teams used to laugh at Gerrard if and when they got an opportunity because they lived in fear he could do something like that to them at any given moment. Can his collection of long range stiles from open play be beaten?

Amazing. Thanks.

So many great ones that have become almost forgotten there. The early one v Southampton from 2001. Graz away. Villa at home a week or two before the 2006 Cup Final.

My West Ham mate said (as the stoppage time was announced, then as the ball was half cleared to Gerrard, then as the ball hit the back of the net..) he just went "Shit...shit...SHIT!!!"

Just love Stevie G..absolutely one off LFC legend in my opinion. Imagine having the balls to hit that shot from such a distance again West Ham, so late in the game. If that flies wide, it's probably game over.

Incredible strike from an incredible man, shame he missed out on some massive, well earnt hugs from Klopp.

Really, I always thought it was later than that, don't remember their late free kick either! Then again, I'm not one for revisiting games much (4-0 Barca the exception, because that just wasn't meant to happen!)

Gerrards against Inter was the one for me, I was on the Kop that evening, a really tense 1-0 at the time and it felt like we would still have a mountain to climb at the San Siro.

He takes the ball, plays one touch to his right to take it away from the defender, doesn't lift his head, just instinctively knows where the eye of the needle was and drills the ball low and hard. For a brief second he stands and watches it roll into the target like he's made a long putt on the green of Anfield. My favourite player.

What a brilliant and lovely description.

The technique in some of these outside-the-box goals marks this lad out as one of the best we've seen.

nicely said

Yes indeed I like that analogy of a golfers putt, it was like a really long putt where the golfer knew exactly what he was doing and rolled it in

It was the last minute of normal time to take the game to extra time.

Reina made a ridiculous save and tipped the ball onto the post late on in extra time to take it to pens.

This, the first big goal of a Europen night that I'd witnessed in the flesh at Anfield. Some said afterwards our name was on the trophy from that point outwards, although I had my doubts at HT in Istanbul. Technically you could argue that Gerrard's goal vs Boro was technically better, as was Luis Garcia's vs Juventus in April 2005.

A great goal in a huge moment.

The best goal for me was the 7th goal which Terry McDermott scored when we lashed Spuds 7-0 back in 1978 , 3 passes from one end of the pitch to the other and a rare headed goal from Terry Mac
