The dentists chair
There are some players for one reason or another that just ooze class and could celebrate however they wanted and we would still love them. Here they are
1: Eric Cantona Chest Pout- When King Eric scored he sometimes simply stood there, hands on hips and looked into the crowd whilst sticking his chest out. A man of great class.
2: Zinedine Zidane Natural Great- Zinedine often scored amazing goals or really important ones but more often than not would simply run back to his own half or applaud team mates, great leader by example.
3: Raul The Ring Kisser- The Prince of Real Madrid has done it for years. Such a respected player worldwide makes such a simple celebration cool. Sit down Frank Lampard
4: Thierry Henry Aeroplane- Probbably the most simple of celebrations see’s Thiery gently jogging away from goal with his arms outstretched but not moving. This fits in well with his style of play and slick image.
5: Ronaldinhio Samba Dance- Great footwork in all aspects of the beautifull game from Ronaldinhio. Often over the top with his goal celebrations but then again there has never been a player more gifted with his feet so why not.
6: Fabrizio Ravanelli Shirt on head move- The silver fox thrilled crowds with his simple but really effective trick of pulling his shirt up to cover his head and then running round to celebrate.
7: Paul Gascoigne Dentists Chair- Everyone remembers this one from Euro 96. Probbably a rehearsed act by the England boys as they help Gazza relive the infamous dentist chair incident !!
8: Gabrielle Batistuta Gunman- The South American striker was a big hit with fans for his popular machine gun celebrations. The striker knelt down on one knee and machine gunned the crowd with his arms. I dont know if the popularity of it shows how good a player he was or says something about South American people
9: The Real Ronaldo finger wag- This player is surely one of the best strikers the world has ever seen and i think he could get away with anything. I quite like the way he runs off at pace though wagging 1 finger, i think it looks good. This puts The Robert Pires Finger to shame
10: Marco Tardelli screaming maniac- This is my favourite. Although i did not see it, it is well known that in 1982 when Marco Tardelli scored in the World Cup Final, he was so overcome with emotion that he felt the need to runn off in a rage screaming his own name like a mad child in celebration.
