    If it was anyone else you'd call it a fluke, but Flynners could do anything with a sliotar.

    The 100 or so goals I won out my back yard to win the All Ireland for Clare, took a short puck out to myself, beat 14 players by soloing and clipping the ball over their heads, to bury it through the goalie.

    No goal in real life will ever beat those, Mods, feel free to lock this thread now :D

    Speaking of Flynn, nobody mentions this cracker. It'll probably always be overshadowed by his free a year earlier, but you don't see these type of goals anymore. Brilliant technique.

    Here are Fentons and JBM's goal. To be honest i think Jimmy Barry Murphys goal is probably the greatest of all time. How he manages to make contact and direct the sliotar goalwards when it is going at such a fast pace is nothing short of breathtaking

    As he said in the commentary - "I would think that goal of John Fentons, was the greatest goal I ever saw" - If it is good enough for him, it is certainly good enough for me! I was at that match , around the 45 yd line in the stand - what a view I had for that goal. I remember my father commenting - he could have hit it a bit harder! - Classic.

    John Fenton's in my opinion - Flynn struck a great free and made good use of a ball the fullback dropped in the other video, but Fenton really made something out of nothing with that beautiful strike - sheer poetry...

    Tom Kenny, Cork V Wexford (2004). What a bullet. Great run! great shot! Fitzhenry never saw it.

    A couple Galway goals, even though we lost...

    Noel Lane in the 1979 final :

    PJ Molloy, smallest man out there leaping to catch the ball and finish it off

    2 amazing goals, hard to pick between them. I'd probably sway towards Murphy as the pace the ball was coming in at and the sweetness of the connection are astonishing. As a Tipp man my favourite goal (technically nowhere near those two admittedly) was Nicky's kicked goal against Cork in 87.

    Does anyone remember DJ Careys goal against antrim in 1993. Pj Delaney hit a low bouncing ball in from the hogan stand sideline . Carey met it with a first time pull on edge of box , it hit the crossbar and then carey met it mid air and scored a fantastic goal. Unbelievable reactions.

    That was a cracker (must try and youtube it now), DJ must have a few that would be up there in the best goals that I have seen. He was always a man who could smell a goal where others might go for the easy option.

    I was at that match too.
    I think there were about 400,000 at that match, every hurling fan over 30 was at that match :D
