Goals. They're what we all watch football for and we will simply never get bored of them.

Whether it be a 40-yard humdinger, slaloming solo strike, acrobatic worldie or slapstick own goal, everybody has their personal preference. Therefore, deciding on which specific efforts are the best is a pretty tough assignment.

However, the sheer joy of rewatching an array of sensational strikes has fuelled us and we've assembled a list of the 15 greatest goals our beautiful sport has seen over the years.

Now, this is a definitive list, so if you're favourite thunderbolt or halfway line lob is missing then that's just too darn bad.
