Don't think an ex-Fulham player has ever won it before?

[Barrett487]

As an unbiased football fan.... i reckon that he's got a shout. The only contender on merit is James (pronounced Yamis) Rodriguez belter in the World Cup.

i still reckon they'll give it to Ibrahimovic, Costa, or Van Persie because they're bigger names (pronounced names).

i would also observe that Wilshere's 'better' goal didn't make it.... who will the Arse fans vote for?

[J.Perkins]

The fact he was running when he controlled it, and then struck it perfectly with his weak foot, and the fact the ball dint touch the floor in their half, he has to win it.

...in a way this is the goal got us relegated - think about it, Khan was there in person and Jol was clearly clueless, but as a result of a great goal and an away win after many poor games, Khan kept Jol for far too long and the consequences meant we are where we are now. Either way it was a great goal - but won't be chosen as Kasami doesn't play for Man Ure, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona etc.,..

and in many, many more ways... it wasnt

Incredible achievement! Make sure you all vote for it to win!!!!! I don't think many goals from England have ever been nominated and better still I bet a relegated club has ever been recognised for a massive award.

Where's wilshire now Arsenal fans? Kasami has every chance of winning just because of how unique it was. Just like Ibrahimovic ' s overhead kick against england that won.

Very proud of this and I think it also confirms it's surely Fulham greatest ever goal.

Understandably, this goal stole the headlines but Sidwell's effort shortly after wasn't too shabby & completely knocked the stuffing out of Palace?

Jon Harley would have something to say about that

The fact that we have a Fulham player in the list is quite unbelievable. To be in line for an award in the name of such a fantastic player as Ferenc Puskas is an honour on its own. One of my heroes. Something like 83 goals in 84 internationals.

No chance. Diop ' s goal vs utd was better than harley.  If you watch it again the goalie is useless. It went straight down the middle and was a hit and hope, great goal but not in the league of kasami

[LBNo11]

...what about the amazing skill of Simon Davies against Hamburg in the Europa semi-final? Kasami's goal may well be amongst the best but not sure you can categorically say it was the best, people's opinions differ, obviously...

In my lifetime the five best goals were
1) kasami
2) Davies vs hamburg
3) Diop vs utd
4) Kamara overhead kick
5) toss up between harley, Dempsey chip and pesch at an field.

So i agree with you Davies goal was special. The most skillful. There was an element of luck involved with every goal I mentioned including kasami except for Davies.  The most technically gifted goal but kasami's was outrageous and impossible to stop

Pronounced 'Hames' - as you read it, not Haimes as you would pronounce James.

I hope that's clear 8/

I think the best Fulham goal I've ever seen was the 23 or 25 pass beauty that Dempsey slotted home. It was a very long possession by a masterful team.

The best goal I've ever seen PERIOD was in a Sunday morning league match in Clifton, Beds. I was walking my dog and spied a 6-player move from goal line to goal line and sideline to sideline. It took about 25 seconds and was stunning.

[AUSFFC]

What a strike that was, I think he has a chance! I voted him

but I think Ibra will win, the blokes a freak, and that was a freakishh goal

Was that the one against wolves 5-0? When the pog scored a hatrick?

[cmg]

Terrific picture, that, from LB11, of Puskas - the inspiration for little fat footballers the world over - training at the Cottage before he and his mates well and truly read England's fortune regarding who was top-dog in World football.

Is this an award for best goal scored with the 'wrong' foot? As 'bog' said he scored 83 in 84 internationals and about 600 overall at around a goal-a-game. I doubt that the number of right foot goals got into double figures!

[Jambo]

No I'm not old enough to remember it but surely this is our best goal?
