10 most legendary goal celebrations of all time

Who did
Who did it better?

1. Eric Cantona - All Hail the King

<p>
Poetry in motion

It's 1996. Manchester United ruled England, and there was just one man responsible for it... The King knew he was King, and he didn't let anyone forget that did he?

Nothing epitomizes Eric Cantona quite like this one against Sunderland in 1996:

A pretty little turn in the middle - with that balletic grace that belies his size - a power surge straight through the middle, a lovely one-two with Brian McLair and a chip of utterly preposterous arrogance that floats (all great chips float through the air, don't they?) right into the top corner.

And then the celebration.

Oh! the celebration.

He stands there admiring his handiwork, and as soon as the ball hits the net starts a slow 360-degree turn as he soaks in the adoration of his Old Trafford congregation before raising his arms in acknowledgment.

Words do little justice:
