Denis Law.

the two goals gary neville pretty much gave away to Corinthians in world club championship

Denis Law? Not if it's the one I'm thinking of.

Dion Dublin, 4th division playoff in (I'm stretching here) 1989? maybe 90.

he was going to the far post to take up position, corner is taken early, it hits the back of his head and goes in, consigning Chesterfield to another season in the bottom drawer.

Calvin Plummer went on to foul up three one on ones with the keeper, I lost my voice screaming obscenities at the ref, who may have been George Courtney.

Tag, it is indeed :)

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 09:46 (twenty-two years ago)

But it was so funny!

― Tag (Tag), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 09:48 (twenty-two years ago)

it was downright hilarious, one of my favourite goals

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 09:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, I know. I was hoping for precisely this reaction.

How about the Russian linesman goal?

What about the West Brom FA Cup Final goal from the 60's that even a girl would have realised was offside?

Channelling Hopkins -

Brazil vs Scotland 1990
Brazil vs Scotland 1998

They were rubbish. As was the Hand of God.

Worst non goal ever - Jon Howard's one that was at least a foot over the line was cuntsack twatface missed in the 97 Cup semi-final.

please drop it Dave, it makes me angry

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 10:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Jeff Agoos of the USA in the last World Cup. Would have been stunning if it had been in the right net.

Would it be bad taste to mention Andres Escobar?

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 10:07 (twenty-two years ago)

not at all, for him it was definitely the worst goal ever.

Some of the lower division ones where you can hear the clown music in the background are hilariously bad.

Newcastle's equaliser against Liverpool in the second 4-3 match. I remember it as just the most shambolic, tired lazy, shit defending I'd ever seen. I am unsure if it was directly after Steve Harkness walloping the ball into the air towards his own box.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 10:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Gary Doherty v Leicester this season. Either the own goal or the retarded back pass he gave for their third (?). To think we'd just started calling him Ginger Pele too.

― Jonnie, Tuesday, 18 May 2004 10:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Gordon Strachan's own goal in the Charity Shield. Got caught between his legs on the line, he flicked it from foot to foot for ten minutes than got bored and let it in.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 10:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Partisan answer: John Bailey's own goal winner for Liverpool v Everton, Mar 1981; Jimmy Case drives in a corner at the Anfield Road end which appears to curve out of play; Bailey, defending the near post, glances the ball past Jim McDonagh. 1-0. Imre Varadi had two efforts at the other end ruled out for offside.

Nonpartisan answer: Oliver Bierhoff's weak shot squirming under Kouba's body for the golden goal winner in Euro 96. Bloody rubbish! Turn the telly off! Etc.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 10:28 (twenty-two years ago)

yes that was awful, and its crapness was magnified by it being a golden goal.

"what??? it's over, right then"

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 10:29 (twenty-two years ago)

And that was 8 years ago! god almighty....

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 10:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I made that goal the lynchpin of my Masters dissertation (team in red against team in white at Wembley. Was it a goal or not? The tension! Ends up with blond captain bloke in white shirt receiving trophy named after Frenchman from HM Queen, sings England football song afterwards DYS!!!!)

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 10:33 (twenty-two years ago)

You have made me think of Gazza missing the cross BY TWO MEASLY FUCKING INCHES YOU FAT BLOND GEORDIE WANKER WHY DIDN'T YOU KNOCK IT IN AND WE'D HAVE WHUPPED CZECH ASS AND WON! AND WHY DID THE FUCKING BALL FROM SICKNOTE'S SHOT BOUNCE - OF ALL THE PLACES ON EARTH - STRAIGHT INTO FUCKING KOPKE'S ARMS? WHY LORD WHY? WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO? WHY DO YOU PREVENT ENGLAND FROM WINNING? WHY? HAVE I NOT BEEN YOUR FAITHFUL SERVANT?

AND ON THE SAME SUBJECT - WADDLE'S SHOT HITS THE POST IN THE SECOND HALF OF EXTRA TIME AND MISSES LINEKER BY INCHES. INCHES. WHYYYYYYYYY???????

― NOT OVER IT YET BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION (daveb), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 10:36 (twenty-two years ago)

B-but the team in red won in '66, Dave. (Sorry, did Bobby M swap shirts before the presentation?)

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 10:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, I know - don't probe too deeply. The analogy was superficially beguiling but ultimately unsustainable. But deadlines is deadlines.

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 10:40 (twenty-two years ago)

B-b-but these missed even out, Dave: Van Vossen?

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 10:44 (twenty-two years ago)

That Jason Cundy one where someone runs up and twats the ball at him on the halfway line, only for it to rebound off his shin and LOB THE FUCKING KEEPER. Oh, the adjectives.

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 11:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Cundy v Ipswich at Portman Road, '92. He meant it by the way.

― Jonnie, Tuesday, 18 May 2004 11:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Fucking Derek Fisher vs. Spurs with 0:00.4 left. Yes, I know you're talking about football, but I'm still mad.

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 13:36 (twenty-two years ago)

"Increase domestic market share threefold by 2005"

Worst corporate goal ever.
