Lets celebrate



inspired by a thread featuring some of the best goal celebrations around (here) i present my top 5

Number 5

nicely choreographed celebration from AFC Bournemouth



Number 4

Jimmy Bullard / Phil Brown piss-take




Number 3

dont know much about this one, but it is a bit of a peach (apologies for the music in this one)




Number 2

this was my favourite right up to the point where i saw the video at number 1. This is FC United



Number 1

from the Finnish side Stjarnan in their  game against Fylkir. With the game seemingly heading for a 1-1 draw, the home side were awarded a penalty in the dying moments. Up stepped Halldór Orri Björnsson to score with a delightful chip over the keeper.

While it was undeniably a fine strike, if some way off the best penalty ever. But the goal will be remembered for what followed - a beautifully choreographed manoeuvre in which Björnsson cast an imaginary fishing rod before 'reeling in' team-mate Daníel Laxdal.

The 'fish' was then picked up by several members of the team and held aloft as if he were a trophy, while another team-mate 'took a photo' for posterity.

Stjarnan held on to win the match 2-1 (copied from the video description)
