- I've never known what to make of Nayim's goal. Was that really what he meant to do? I think it was roughly 98% luck, 1% audacity and 1% trying to waste a bit of time and play for penalties, but perhaps I'm doing him a disservice. I certainly won't deny that it looked spectacular - but "jammy" doesn't even begin to cover it! I dunno...
Speaking of which, John Barnes can't do that! One for the scrapbook, indeed. I bet he was out for weeks following his acrobatics in scoring that goal. I'm convinced that Matt Le Tissier's goal against Blackburn took the gong this year, and deservedly so. Andy Clarke netted a fine effort to be a contender, but I've little doubt that the irony factor played and even bigger part in its selection (a passing goal by Wimbledon against Liverpool - perish the thought!).
The music, incidentally, is The Life of Riley by the Lightning Seeds - a song I will forever associate with the Goal of the Month/Season competition.

Matt Le Tissier could have had a top 10 Premier League goals collection all on his own. A sublime player, woefully underused if not overlooked by England.
Le god
Brilliant Goal Scorer All Day Long
Offered nothing in general play though hence playing for Southampton all his life
@@rnmusic-gt7zw What does that mean? Kept them in the league for several years.You sound like an eejit.
Miss the 90s, better, simpler times in almost all aspects. Take me back
I always say that! So much better!
Thankfully we got to experience it.
Matt le Tissier might as well have Life of Riley played at his funeral. (Copyright @FootballCliches)
Yes! That's an absolutely blinding suggestion.
😂
Beauty of a comment!
..but where was his free kick against Wimbledon? unless that was the '93-'94 season. yeah, maybe it was.
John C Yes, date for that was 26th Feb ‘94.
I genuinely do miss these older years of the premier league some of the best times, proper premier league days unlike today
No matter which team you supported Matts goals were legendary
I actually expected more than the 2 goals from Matt Le Tiss to be in here..And that Nayim goal is still HILARIOUS
How could Nayim's Effort be a goal of the Season Candidate?, as let's Face it, that goal really didn't come through Skill, more Chip & Hope?.😂
@@kennethnorris4920 Ronaldinho did the same thing to Seaman in the 2002 World Cup. It's basically the reason we went out of it.
Le tiss v Blackburn class
Definitely agree. It's almost like the guy was running his own Goal of the Decade competition throughout the 90s, wasn't it? :-)
Gives me pleasure to say I saw 3 of these with my own eyes (Barnes, Shearer and Le Tissier). Le Tiss quite rightly won GOTS...I remember the whole ground applauding after it went in.....watch the Rovers fans clapping behind the goal at 1:39
You were privileged, even though two of those went against your team (I'm guessing). The reaction when Le Tiss's went in partly proves my case that it's one of the very best goals ever, not just that season!
I had the pleasure of seeing the Ndluv goal. A very good goal, but we were a division below
and I think some of our defenders weren't up to scratch that season unfortunately!
Whose eyes did you see the others with?
@@noelmadden1920 Abraham Lincoln's
Le Tissier v Blackburn! Absolute quality goal scorer! One of the best ever!
That's the sign of a genuinely great goal - when all rivalries go to one side and everyone applauds the moment of genius they've just witnessed.
was in the top tier right behind that goal when he scored, there was little else we could do apart from clap him, absolute genius
old don you
@@hazzo_hd "The Don" will do mate, less of the old 😂
Football just had a much better "feel" to it back then. Not the high-stakes financial institution it is these days.
Old comment, but as much as the 1990s were a fun time, it was most definitely not an era of innocence. In fact, this very season - 94/95 - still stands out as particularly scandalous and sinful.
Dimitri Kharine's hair wins this contest, hands down.
Wins by a nose from his trousers.
Barry Venison second place then.
Matt le tissiers goals where fantastic strikes. Stan collymores goal was good as well.
I've got the instrumental for life of Riley. Used to listen to it on my way to playing 5 a side. Glorious
Life of Riley is literally the only authentic football soundtrack for me.
Besides anything else, I still don't know how Seaman managed to get his jump so hilariously wrong. I reckon Ronaldinho was taking notes, though...
Seaman was shit from distance.
Poor judgement and footwork
Nayim's goal was something great and unexpected in a split second that changed the history of that game against Arsenal. Although Barnes' goal also seems very remarkable to me, I think Nayim's is better than all goals.
Shouldn't have ever been included, it wasn't even in the premier league and it wasn't even on the BBC. MOTD back in the early 90s just hated Arsenal!
I used to love the smell of my sticker album. It only dawned on me fairly recently that my eight-year-old self was probably getting slightly high on the glue.
I always loved getting the silver club crests. Was over the moon to get the Arsenal one twice.
nobody had the internet, and hardly anyone had mobile phones back then. The world moves so fast
The Internet was around but was more limited
Goal 5 by Le Tissier did win it actually. And I agree - definitely one of the best Premier League goals you'll ever see!
I bet that was a day to remember! Both Spurs and Liverpool had teams that were well worth watching back then.
I've never actually been at a live match when a Goal of the Month winner has been scored - part of the "joys" of being a Peterborough United fan... :-/
John Barnes sensational
Le Tiss's outrageous, measured, curling, dipping, cannon ball into the top corner, after creating space with 3 bamboozling touches is a true masterpiece.
Pains me to say it but Matt le Tiss wins that comfortably.
What a Theme Song Just so perfect with Goal of the Month! Bring it back and keep it. Come on BEEB Just Fantastic Memory's of Classic Games and Goals ⚽⚽⚽
For me this was the best era in football in my time.... Probably because I was 14/15 in that season and a Man United fan ( Yes I know Blackburn won the league in 95) but we were clearing up in the 90's. I used to enjoy motd back then watching the likes of Le Tissier scoring them 30 - 40 yard goals which he made look so easy.
Im pretty sure Le Tissiers second goal in this list got goal of the season that year.
Forget the goals for a second, the commentators here were some of the greatest of all time: Davies, Motson, Tyldesley.... Some of the best ever to narrate football matches. It really was a better time back then to be a footie fan.
Forgot to mention Tony Gubba here too who always used to ‘yes’ when somebody scored
@@AsifKhan-du5nr Gerald Sinstadt - "One - Nothing"
Le Tissier was in almost every motd 90s goal of the season review.
Amazing goals, even more amazing was Wimbledon playing like Barcelona in their prime in the lead up to their goal.
I think the best way to describe Stan is an "individual" rather than an "egomaniac". Having seen him interviewed in recent years, I have a lot more sympathy for him now than I did back then. His head definitely wasn't in the right place on many occasions, but at the top of his game there was no stopping him.
matthew le tissier out standing player , could watch his goals for hours , one of his goals go a slight deflection but didnt get counted , he scored from a corner, out standing player
How he only played for England eight times I'll never know...
***** Even with all that striking talent, you'd think Le Tiss would at least have made more appearances from the bench in tight games. It's just baffling to me! In fact, given a straight choice between him and Sheringham, I'd take Matt every time. Nowadays he would be amazing, especially as there are the likes of Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sterling to do all his running for him!
***** Ah... If only!
Goal A.... I've just phoned my vote in ☺️
+Algrim "Ginger-Fist" Durinsson ...And you've probably just been charged about £12 per minute by the BBC. ;-)
VideotapeFTW lol, yea no doubt. Good video btw as it brings back memories of players I watched through childhood. I was like damn yea I remember him and started googling certain players to see what they're up to now👍
+Algrim "Ginger-Fist" Durinsson Glad you enjoyed it! It was a good time for football - not long before money *really* took over the game - and I think these Goal of the Season vids capture the era perfectly.
VideotapeFTW Very true!
What's Stan Collymore up to now?
Le tiss v Blackburn class
How no big snap him up I don't understand he was such talented player
Sorry I meant to say how come none of the bigger clubs brought him
Some absolute peaches in this but I'd have to go for Matt Le Tissiers goal against Blackburn closely followed by John Barnes goal. Le Tissier was easily one of the top players in the Prem in the mid 90s. The Nayim one was a freak but hardly surprising to see David Seaman once again beaten from long range. It was his Achilles heel.
Matt Le Tissier All day Day Long,,,scored some sick goals... Used To Love Seeing His Goals
All that money matt and you still didn't get your teeth done
+philip kemp bell He earnt fuck all... about £3500 a week was his top wage at saints.
Tom Prouton hardly fuck all is it. That’s still a lot of money even per month these days for normal people.
@@rickoneillable tell that to the prima donnas these days who would of all fallen over once past the halfway line.
th-cam.com/video/mqayD8IdVys/w-d-xo.html Back when Scottish fitba wz class. Five foreign players in the whole league. Be warned England. It's downhill for you too if you continue to restrict your own players. I hope not. You have the talent. Give them the chance. Seeing Englands under 22's, 21's, 20's and 19's dominate this year. I hope you give them all a chance. They deserve it. For a nation your size you should have 80-100 players that are good enough for the national team every year.
Have to say matts goal against Blackburn absolute class
Goal 5, Le Tissier v Blackburn, took the award.
Shearer's goal was so good it beat the camera as well as the keeper!
Matt Le Tissier against Blackburn is just amazing. But his goal at Villa is right up there. No danger at all then bang out of nowhere top corner. awesome
Despite running with the ball from his own half Peter Ndlovu only has to beat one defender, bet Alan Hansen ripped into that West Brom defending.
9 ok goals and Le Tissiers masterclass against Blackburn. If he didn't win it was fixed.
They had to put Nayim's goal in it didn't they 🤦♂️. Glad it didn't win as it was simply a one off fluke.
Thank God Peter Ndlovu is recovering now from the car crash.
I remember it well - John Barnes was converted to a 'holding' midfielder because his legs were giving out. And then he went and did *that* overhead kick!
Collymore with the OG Ronaldo haircut
Le Tissier celebration after the blackburn goal is like "business as usual 🤷"
This makes me wanna dig my amiga out, and play CM
1:22 The Blackburn fans clapping Le Tissier's goals tells you how special that was! No competition Goal of the decade!!
Ah, those days of Shearer, Fowler, Ferdinand, Cole, Collymore, Le Tissier (if we're counting him as a "striker")... And still England couldn't take advantage and cobble together a top side. It should have been a goal-fest under Venables!
VideotapeFTW To be fair Venebles had a top side and we came close when football came home in 96 but we were done by our old foes the Germans in the Semis, we were the team of that tournament though with some of the football we played. Gazza against Scotland is still one of the best goals youll ever see.
Lost in a 90s match of the day Milky Way....
I too regard this as a great season - probably the best I can remember. :-) It was not long after this that the Premiership just got too big for its own good, in my humble opinion.
Nayim can lob Seaman from 40 yards away, now that's impressive!
hahaha
I remember the original version of that joke, which was "what is the similarity between an elephant and Nayim?" You can guess the rest lol
Ahh back in the days when football used to be fun to watch
Is this really in Fowler's and Carragher's books? I ask because I'm not sure the stats back that up. In 96/7, Liverpool spent over £14m on the likes of Murphy, Ince, Leonhardson and Berger. Players such as McAteer, Riedle, Friedel and (ho ho) Sean Dundee were all Evans signings (I think) after Collymore that cost in excess of £1m - not much by today's standards, but quite an investment back then. Plus, they made back £7m on Stan.
First I've heard of the board clamming up, that's all...
You never see goals scored now like you did then
I remember watching that Arsenal game and to this day I still believe Nayim meant that. We can't look at every lob and be cynical about it. Some are genuine and I genuinely believe he saw the ball and the way it bounced in front of him, measured it in his head and had a go.
Yeah, I watched it live, too, and I'll be honest my impression was that running down the clock and playing for penalties (being the last minute of a cup final) was forefront of Nayim's mind as he wellied it. It turned out way better than even he expected, obviously.
He wasn't the British record transfer fee holder for nothing. On his day, he was top notch - absolutely unplayable. How much would a major side pay today for someone with his pace, power, skill and finishing abilities?
They always said on the packet that the stickers were all printed in equal numbers - which goes nowhere to explaining why I'd get about 20 Wimbledon silvers before a Man Utd or Liverpool one showed up...
... But even though the BBC now shows the Football League and League Cup, none of those goals are included in the competition. I have no idea what their policy is these days, and I wonder if they do.
VideotapeFTW love your vids, I have loads of old MOTDs and Man United reviews on video, love digging them out. Gotta disagree with you on Nayim's strike though...it was speculative for sure, but what else was he trying to do? From the moment he hits it you can tell he's waiting to see if he's pulled it off or not. Great - and unusual - goal!
£1000, I think - isn't that how Premium Bonds work? Of course, the chances are you'd have won a fair few quid in the intervening years.
If it was shown on the BBC, it was eligible for the Goal of the Month/Season competition. It doesn't work like that any more, of course.
Goal of the Month/Season without Life of Riley should be classed somewhere between heresy and treason, and therefore punished as such.
Nayim from the half way line
feck off
not even from the halfway line you langer
03:22 why is that in the competition. So confused
That was on ITV. So not eligible for GOTM.
@@steveforest8385 u mean it IS
Been digging through your channel and I'm glad I found this. Le Tissier's chip against the Rovers was a piece of fine art, skimming through those defenders like if those defenders were me before nicking that goal from 40 yards away. Bloody legendary. Undoubtedly one of the most phenomenal shots in Premier League history, and the man himself was so underused it's criminal. I don't even think Le Tiss has even had a _bad_ shot in his whole career. Hell, you can even see some of the Blackburn supporters in the crowd cheering him on after that, which I can honestly respect.
Yeah, it's probably still my favourite Premier League goal. I think the Blackburn fans _and_ Tim Flowers all had a sort of "Well, nothing we can do about that, so may as well enjoy it" sort of attitude about it.
@@VideotapeFTW Better attitude than most Chelsea fans these days
@1984aok What I hate most is when someone like Nayim does that and then pretends it's *exactly* what he meant to do...
Le Tissier,the most underrated genius in premier league history.What a player.Flowers was a first class keeper at the time and still got nowhere near it.Le Tis 👌
Bad choice how goals out epl 94-95 be in this list
It's Match of the Day's goal of the season, not the Premier League's goal of the season. As long as the BBC showed it back then, it qualified. That said, they were _really_ inconsistent about it.
I was enjoying these goals until I got to number 10. That's one goal I never want to remember 😫
I miss the Men’s game of the 1990s
Ronaldinho voted for Nayim's goal vs David Seaman.
They both learned all they know from Lee Dixon: th-cam.com/video/MpSo1aciPqU/w-d-xo.html
Goal 5 is too much
You know what mate that was my exact same thought watching this video! Especially the Andy Clarke picture! For me the golden era of the Premiership. I seem to remember this season's album being blue with Paul Merson and Ryan Giggs on the front, and the year later it was black! Ah, I can still feel the disappointment now of opening 8 packs in one go and getting Lee Clark or Frank Sinclair at least twice in them!
The magnificent meeting of minds: Lynam ‘10 goals, pick your favourite’, 90s football and ‘the life of Riley’ instrumental. Glastonbury 23 brought me here tonight
What a true English legend. Matt Le TIssier.
Nayim wins this for me I remember that pissing myself laughing 😂
I love how casual he looks afterwards, almost saying, "Oh, yes, I do this all the time..."
Le Tissier v Blackburn by a mile, a truly unique strike.
Le Tissier, Cole, Barnes, Shearer, Sheringham, Collymore, useful group of English players right there
But...but...Is NAYIM' goal allowed ...if it is then it comes very fucking close....the range...the dip ..and power.....
Both Le Tissier goals. he was something special.
I suppose they could include the Football League and League Cup if they really wanted to...
Win 1000 pounds worth of premium bonds, how old fashioned haha
More than they get nowadays, thanks to that bloody cat with the wrong name.
The best goal in Premier League history? Probably.
What was Nayim's goal doing in there?
Back then, if it was on the BBC, it was allowed to be a contender. They sometimes had FA Cup goals, too - this is the only European one I remember, though...
same reason Peter Ndlovu was on their i should imagine, that wasnt a premier league goal either
+d walt Now you mention it, yes, it definitely was.
This was BLACKBURNS season yeah......great times...oh i think LE TISS goal was best....by miles
I think Nayim did intend that shot; the swing he gave it was far too strong to be a pass to either of his teammates, who were not all that far ahead of him.
Former Coventry, Birmingham, Sheffield United and Huddersfield winger Peter Ndlovu has been critically injured in a car crash in his native Zimbabwe.
The accident, in Victoria Falls, claimed the life of his elder brother Adam, who was also a professional footballer.
The pair were returning from a friendly match between the Highlanders Legends and a Victoria Falls team.
A female passenger is also reported to have died in the accident.
Exactly! The hyperbole that surrounds modern football has blown a lot of people's judgement out of all proportion, to the extent that young fans will say "Stan who?" while deifying any old showpony that prances about the pitch, . But when I see old clips of Stan at his best, what with his pace, his power, his control-at-speed and his blistering finishing, squint your eyes and (dare I say it) you could almost be fooled into thinking you're watching an old clip of Ronaldo. Such a sad waste.
Pretty sure that year there were once 3 Le T goals out of 10 for the Goal of the Month. None were flukes and none were superfluous. Blackburn we lost 3:2 but look at his face after scoring - the result was all, to him the goal wasn't important. Beckham would have launched a new aftershave before the restart. Le Tiss might bring 30 seconds of magic but that magic was unique and justified the ticket price and more. An absolutely irreplaceable talent and one that I'm glad I was there to appreciate.
Didn't win Goal of the Month, I'm afraid, so not eligible...
What is the name of this song???? I have a few old VHS of the goal of the month, and the goal of the season from the 96-97 campaign. I've been trying all this time to find the name of this theme tune. Even emailed the BBC when they had a name that tune section, where you could request the title of a song used a background music in any of their sports shows.
I regularly finished with 10 of the same sticker as it was so common everyone else would have 10 of them as well - those particular ones used to finish up being given in at the Swap Shops. I don't buy in to the theory at they are completely random and equal at all!
Yeah I kind of see what you mean, there were more sensible options on. But he was a flair kind of player and he means it because he has a look up. The luck element comes in the form that if he tried that 100 times he couldn't do it again.
Poor old Seaman. His kryptonite, long looping shots.
"...a total egomaniac who wanted liverpool to play a style that suits him"
Oh really? I never knew that. Sounds like a bit of a bellend if that's true, albeit a hugely talented bellend. Do you remember any anecdotal examples of his behaviour from those books, out of interest?
Shearer's was an astonishing strike but didn't get good camera coverage. Was less of a looper than Le Tissier's, just pure power spanked in off the bar.
Le Tiss vs. Blackburn
Shearer
Le Tiss vs. Villa
Forrrr the life of rilllleeeey
Still the tune that comes into my head when I hear the phrase "Goal of the Month".
Yeah true, the BBC is conscious about that kind of thing. When they had Alan Pardew as a guest the other week, they had Hansen but ditched Shearer for Dixon, lest they have 3 Alans and look discriminatory against non-Alans.
