VIDEO: David Beckham (ENGLAND v Greece 2001)

VIDEO: Matthew Le Tissier (SOUTHAMPTON v Wimbledon 1994)

Back in the day when Le Tiss used to have his own goal of the month competition, this nonchalant effort was one of his best.

VIDEO: Ernie Hunt (COVENTRY v Everton 1970)

The 'donkey king' shocked players and fans. He tried it again (twice) unsuccessfully until the move was banned by the FA.

VIDEO: Paul Gascoigne (TOTTENHAM v Arsenal 1991)

'Is Gascoigne going to have a crack? He is, you know! That is Schoolboy's Own stuff!' commented Barry Davies.

VIDEO: Roberto Carlos (BRAZIL v France 1997)

The Brazilian hit the ball so far to the right that a ball-boy behind the goal instinctively ducked his head but then it swerved dramatically into top right-hand corner.

VIDEO: Ronaldo (MANCHESTER UNITED v Portsmouth 2008)

Cristiano Ronaldo's stunning strike against Portsmouth was hailed as the 'best ever free kick in the Premier League' by Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
