Lots of goals mentioned that for sheer emotion were amazing, but my favourite Spurs goal, just for the technical beauty of it was Klinsmann v Sheffield Wednesday at WHL in 94/95. Wins the ball in the air, spins in behind his marker and crashes a half volley past Kevin Pressman, just a beautiful goal that always sticks in my mind.

Yeah I remember that. Kilnsmann was the most complete striker I've ever seen in a Spurs shirt. I'll never forget his first home goal for us either, a scissor kick against Everton I believe.

For technical beauty my favourite was Ginola very Barnsley when we got beat 4-1 there. Fucking hated Barnsley since.

He's goal vs Leeds also in the fa cup was brilliant

Not a classic by any means, but for the sheer relief from the tension ...

that's an interesting perspective from which to rate goals.

for me, the biggest 'relief goal' would be Pavlyuchenko's winner in the 118th minute v Burnley in 2nd leg of the '09 League cup semi. going in 3 goals up, we'd squandered chance after chance and let them back in it, and it looked destined to go to penalties. I fooking knew we'd lost it - absolutely pissed away a near-certain final at Wembley - only for Pav to save us at the death.

eriksen's winner at Bramall Lane last year rates close, as well, and for very similar reasons.

as to a combination of both relief and absolute quality, though, I'd vie for Pav's goal in the dying minutes of the CL qualifier at Young Boys. it looked like we'd be coming back to the Lane needing to erase a two-goal deficit, when Pavlyuchenko unleashed a rocket into the top of the net from a tight angle on the right. from there I knew we had a strong chance of not being humiliatingly eliminated from the champions league before it even really began.

I've been though a million low moments in my time supporting Spurs ... but each of those three would've been among the lowest, if not for those goals.

I remember when I was about 13 or 14, and Nicky Barmby had just broken onto the scene. He was getting a lot of deserved hype, and I completely bought into it. Anyway he scored a lovely header in the FA Cup against Wimbledon and it's always stayed in my memory.

Also this goal from Berbatov. It was one of those goals that felt like playing FIFA, in that I was willing him to cut inside the defender, then cut back across the keeper. So many times when you're willing a striker to do something and they do the exact opposite, but this wasn't one of those times:

In terms of importance, Bassong's goal vs Young Boys was vital, 3-0 down at HT might have killed the team!

Not seen todays goal yet.

My faves have all been mentioned previously, but my fave(non spurs) prem goals are the yeboah two. I cant recall many/any spurs goals in the prem era that have been belted in off the bar from range, those goals always look the shiz.

Kranjcar against wigan in the 9 1 i think was in off. Anyone have any others?

It was Gazza 91 semi final for me but Alli's today might be threatening that one right now.

There have been so many I have liked. Klinsmann v Wednesday, Ginola v Barnsley, Bale v West Ham, Stalteri v West Ham, VDV v Villa.
