Filed under: 2006-2007 Goals of the Season, Christian Vieri, David Nugent, Diego, Francesco Totti, Goal of the Season, Lionel Messi, Matthew Taylor, Paul Scholes, Robin van Persie, Thomas Hitzlsperger, Wayne Rooney, great goals

It’s been a great year for long-range volleys, particularly those of a left-footed variety, but not such a great year for individual goals (with two obvious exceptions).

With an apology for an inevitable English football bias, I proudly present my goals of the season…

1. Matthew Taylor (for Portsmouth v Everton)
à Premiership

2. David Nugent (for Preston North End v Crystal Palace)
à FA Cup

3. Robin van Persie (for Arsenal v Charlton Athletic)
à Premiership

4. Paul Scholes (for Manchester United v Aston Villa)
à Premiership

5. Wayne Rooney (for Manchester United v Portsmouth)
à FA Cup

6. Francesco Totti (for Roma v Sampdoria)
à Serie A

7. Lionel Messi (for Barcelona v Getafe)
à Copa del Rey

8. Diego (for Werder Bremen v Alemannia Aachen)
à Bundesliga

9. Christian Vieri (for Atalanta v Siena)
à Serie A

10. Thomas Hitzlsperger (for Stuttgart v Energie Cottbus)
à Bundesliga

Seething at an omission? Aghast at an inclusion? Let me know.

James Mcfadden vs Charlton. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V-0tEM-SR0

In stoppage time as well!

That is a very good call.

The touch to set the volley up is absolutely sumptuous, and the finish is pretty tasty as well.

Consider it Number 11.
