"Before the game, my son said to me ‘Dad, you’re so boring when you celebrate after the goals. Come out with something’. And I was a little inspired by Roberto Di Matteo. I remembered when watching Chelsea’s games, he scored a goal and he lay down more or less in the same way. So, I said ‘OK, if I score against Brazil, I will do something similar’." AFP

A remarkable goal with a famous celebration. Manchester United striker Eric Cantona had lobbed Sunderland goalkeeper - and his former Nimes teammate - Lionel Perez in spectacular fashion. Cantona barely moved from the spot as pirouetted in slow motion and soaked up the applause. Years later, Cantona would reveal that Perez had refused to shake his hand in the tunnel before the game. "Maybe I scored this goal because of that," said Cantona. "That’s the biggest humiliation for a goalkeeper, and this kind of celebration too. I just stand there. Look at me.” Getty

I want to show that my family are always behind me, as that has helped me a lot in my career as a footballer.” AFP

"I’d try it on my own or my mum's bed and I think I broke many beds in my time." Getty

Luis Suarez did not take too kindly to Everton manager David Moyes' suggestion that "divers" such as the Uruguayan were putting fans off the English game.

Wright would go on to complete his hat-trick. Allsport
