They still haven't given him a knighthood

Considering what was on the line, i'd say it was one of the best goals ever scored by an Englishman.

heskey clearly did everything there

I get goosebumps every time i watch this.

It's moments like these that make true sporting heroes. You can argue the toss about overall technical ability but stepping up to the plate two-and-a-half minutes into injury time and placing the ball where millions of people want you to place it. Legend.

Beckham's shot left his foot at about 36 m/s (80 mph) from about 27m out with considerable spin and he lifted it half a metre over the defensive wall. The ball rose over the height of the crossbar during its flight as it moved laterally about 3m due to the high spin employed, before finally suddenly slowing down to about 19m/s (42 mph) and dipping into the corner of the goal.

Respect from a Greek.

Beckham definitely needs a knighthood after that goal

The goalie doesn't even move, he don't know what's hit him.

A brilliant free kick! I remember it well. I was 16, on crutches with a broken ankle. Had to be careful with my celebrations but that goal still send shivers down my spine. What it meant to be English & proud!

Terrific! After all Beckham went through after that game against Argentina in 98... And than he won against Argentina in 2002... David Beckham was certainlly one of the best players I've ever seen, and this was certainlly the most beautifull free kick goal.

I miss Beckham so much :(

This still send shivers down my spine whenever i watch it.

Say what you like about him but i think that has to be one of the best individual performances by a player in a match, he was the only player on the pitch that seemed to want to win. He must have covered every blade of grass in this match, by far the best he has ever played for england.

He should've let Heskey take it, but you've got to hand to it to him. What a moment.

the ball left his foot travelling at 36 m/s.... the goal was only 27m away LOL

This still sends shivers down my spine. God, i remember it so clearly!

One of the best free kicks i have ever seen ! Brilliant

That was one of the most amazing moments of my life, every single time i watch it, i blush like crazy. It meant so much to each and every England fan. 'Give that man a knighthood' says it all.

Celebrating in front of the Stretford End at Old Trafford, where he belongs.

One of the greatest memories of my life. The way that the camera was shaking when he was celebrating shows that even the camera man was going nuts! Miss him so much in the England team, despite all the off-the-pitch lifestyle the guy was an amazing player and will always be in my greatest ever England 11. Cheers Dave, the whole of England loves you : )

still get the shivers to this day

Favourite goal off all time. No one strikes a dead ball like him,

To irl wilson...what the commentator said was "Give that man a knighthood"....A knighthood in UK means a person can add the title "Sir" or "Dame" to their name.

F**king beautiful!! This is what football is all about, moments you'll always remember as a fan!

I'm from Greece but I have to give him credit for that goal!!!

the roar of the crowd when that ball goes in..absolutely stunning. gives me chills everytime

That's so old... And I'm not even English, but this goal always manages to give me goosebumps.

i get goosebumps eveytime

the way he reels off before its even hit the back of the net is incredible

cant get bored of watching it. still remember where i was. never seen 1 player put in such a performance, it was incredible.

that still gives me goosebumps!!

lol i remember watching this with fan zone commentary and the england fan as expected went absolutely nuts he was screaming at the top of his vioce going YEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!! lol

Thank you God For Send Beckham

And to think two years from this point, Greece would win a major championship yet England's greatest achievement since then has been to beat Slovenia 1-0 in the World Cup. Sad times

I don't believe it , David Beckham , Score a Goal , To take England - All the way , to the World Cup Final's

What a curve.

Heskey 0:47

If only Gary Neville was commentating

"and fans are filing out of the stadium..." I bet they were PISSED after.

the most sensational gola evar!!

@luca99513 He says "Give that man a knighthood" But it does sound like item when you go back and listen to it :P

Worst commentary EVER for this goal!

roberto carlos may have the speed and the random curves but david beckham has the true skill of free kick....always accurate

Ahh Gary Bloom, an old school commentator. Great moment this.

nice goal
