Best Worked Goal Celebration

I was just discussing this with some friends. The best goal celebration i've seen in recent times (non-acrobatic) was by Hull City away at Man City this season. (The acrobatic award goes to Julius Agahowa hands down). My favourite celebration of all time is Milla's 1990 World Cup celebration, and it will probably remain so.

Back to Hull City. Last season (December '08), Hull were being outplayed by Man City. Losing 4-0, their manager Phil Brown, kept them out on the pitch at halftime, and put them in a circle in front of their own fans. He kept yelling and waving his finger at his players. It didn't do them much good as they were defeated 5-1.














This season they went back to Manchester (November '09). This time it was 1-0 to Man City, and Hull were awarded a penalty in the 80 something minute. Jimmy Bullard stepped up and converted. After scoring in front of their own fans, the Hull City players went into a circle, and Bullard the goalscorer kept going around pointing fingers at the rest of the players. This has to be one of the best worked celebrations in the history of sports.














Check out the reaction of the fans in the background, and the reaction of the Man City player.

While we're at it, watch this! The following has to be one of the funniest goal celebrations of all time. It certainly is the angriest. Temuri Ketsabaia!
He certainly hates McDonald's, but he despises Adidas:)



Here are a couple of other vids of nice goal celebrations.
