Top 15 Flairest GOALS ever part 1 (15-11)

(In my opinion)

This is a bit of a hard one for me, and i've tried as hard as i could to not confuse "good" with "flair"

To attempt to demonstrate my thought process


This (Milan Baros' goal at roughly 2:40) is flair. For a start, it's an amazing team move.....not by Brazil, or France, or Italy, but by the CZECH REPUBLIC, also look at who scored it......is it Pele? or Van Basten? or Maradona? No, that man lashing the ball home is Milan Baros. Yes, Milan Baros. This is why this is flair.

And this isn't


Yes, it's a superb team goal, but at the end of the day, it's Brazil......what's so special about a great Brazil goal, it happens all the time

So here are my top 15 flair goals (without thinking that much about it)

15. Dalian Atkinson, Aston Villa vs Wimbledon, 1993

This is a superb individual goal by a player who, despite promised much, was fairly average really. Here Dalian, starting off in his own half, dribbles past player after player before casually chipping the 'keeper. The greatest moment of his disappointing career




14. Milan Baros, Czech Republic vs Netherlands, 2004

Euro 2004 was a superb tournament for the Czech Republic. Their attacking 2-1-7 formation took teams by suprise as they strutted to the semi-finals before coming undone against anti-flair elitists, Greece. This goal (2.40 roughly) came in a thrilling 3-2 win over the Netherlands in which the Republic came back from 2-0 down. Blonde mega hero, Pavel Nedved lofts the ball into the "Diabolical Freak" Jan Koller to expertly chest into the path of anti-goal machine Milan Baros who twatted it home. Superb from start to finish.




13. David Ginola, Newcastle United vs Some Foreign Team, 1996 or 97 or something

David was the star man in possible the flairest team ever. He had it all, Coffee adverts, Shampoo adverts,.........everything. (I was actually at this game which is the only reason i remember it)




12. The entire Sengal national Team, Senegal vs Denmark, 2002

It'd be unfair to single out one Senegal player for this goal, because in fairness, they all scored it (it was actually Salif Diao). Senegal made their World Cup debut in 2002 and stunned the world when they defeated champions France 1-0 in the opening game. This superb team goal came in a 1-1 draw with Denmark. They later went on to draw with Uruguay and beating Sweden in the second round before losing heroicly to Turkey in the quarters. It is for this great counter attack goal that they are best remembered for.




11. Eric Cantona, Manchester United vs Sunderland, 1997 or something
