2. Steven Gerrard - Liverpool v West Ham 2006 This is like that Top of the Pops moment where you're waiting to find out who's number one. There'll be groans from Merseyside as Steven Gerrard's name is read out, cheers in north London as they know what's coming up. Gerrard was renowned for his belters, but he's arguably never hit one as sweet as this. Hobbling around with cramp as Liverpool trailed West Ham 3-2 in added time, lactic acid coursing through his thighs, the midfielder swung a right boot at a bobbling ball 40 yards out and it fizzed just above the turf until hitting the back of Shaka Hislop's net. "I saw him coming on to it but there were a lot of players between him and me, and he hit it so well it was in the back of the net almost before I could react," Hislop told 5 Live. Liverpool went on to win on penalties, Gerrard also netting from the spot. "When that went in I felt like the most special and important player in the world," he said about his wonder strike.
