By greatness I mean not only an individual’s talent, but maybe a team that achieved immortality by doing something great. What are yours? That’s easy, it’s stayed with me since I watched it happen: Dennis Bergkamps goal in the last 2 minutes against Argentina in the World Cup !………there will simply never be a better goal scored, ever !

jukel123 9,046 Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 This is a bit of a curved ball. Chris senior telling his son to stop aiming shots to his opponent's head. Probably saved his life. Blackwell suffered a bleed on the brain later. Chris senior could see another Michael Watson situation developing. https://youtu.be/ozwYHwLtbzY?si=LoyjHaNgU6_x68e9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll also throw a wild card in and mention one that I don’t think gets mentioned enough if at all…….a 17 year old Michael Owen’s goal against Argentina in the World Cup…what a moment and what a goal. But when taken in its entirety goals like that don’t even come close to that Bergkamp goal….. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
