Goals of the Season 2006-2007
June 8 2007
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.
