Ibra's overhead kick is the best goal I have ever seen in almost 40 years. I'll never forget that one.

To this day, still can’t believe Salah won one.

As a Malaysian I've never even heard of Faiz Subri until he won the Puskas award, and had no idea what he had done since

Definitely agree with the Salah goal being the worst, he scored better goals than that in the same month, let alone the whole year

It’s great to see Oleksy topping your list. AMP footballers are true heroes and deserve more recognition worldwide

Fun fact about Faiz Subri. After the award, he still signed as a Penang player, retired for a while, joined an amateur side Northern Lions, re-joined Penang, and is currently a free agent. He also almost became an assistant coach for Hungarian national Teqball team

The remarkable thing about Son's 100 goals in the Premier League, is that he has only scored one penalty in the Prem.

This might be the only channel to keep Freddy Adu relevant.. 😂😂

Posting for the 8th time: I created an all-time XI with no overlap of international careers - no player was active for their national team at the same time as any other player. Here it is (with the years of each player's international career listed in parentheses): 🇩🇪 Oliver Kahn (1995 - 2006) 🇩🇪 Manfred Kaltz (1975 - 1983), 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Bob Crompton (1902 - 1914), 🇧🇷 Thiago Silva (2008 - ), 🇩🇪 Andreas Brehme (1984 - 1994) 🇺🇾 José Leandro Andrade (1923 - 1930), 🇮🇹 Ugo Locatelli (1936 - 1940) 🇮🇹 Valentino Mazzola (1942 - March 1949) 🇧🇷 Pelé (1957 - 1971), 🇧🇷 Neco (1917 - 1922), 🇭🇺 Zoltán Czibor (May 1949 - 1956) Manager: 🇨🇿 Karel Petrů (1931 - 1935) If you choose to ignore the position of manager, Ugo Locatelli can be replaced in midfield by 🇦🇷 Antonio Sastre (1933 - 1941). How about making a video featuring an XI you created using this limitation (and without using uncapped players)?

Further Adu gotta be the greatest running joke in all of youtube. Every video I play I somehow am not prepared for it coming and it absolutely never fails to crack me up

This is a Certified Puskas Classic …. 🔥. ⚽️

This video was really interesting and your number one choice touched me deeply. I won’t say anything further to avoid spoilers. Thank you very much for recognizing this amazing man and everybody who plays in this league!

a documentary on the afc Wimbledon on the nine promotions in eleven years, how they’re a fan own club and how they have a stadium in plough lane now. The story of they lost the club, how the F A allowed that and won’t allow that anymore. How they were very close to moving to ireland How they went up the English football leagues. It would be a good documentary video if you can do this. #thepeopleschannel

2 Puskas awards, 2 separate World cup winners, 2 strikers with over 300 goals between them and not a single trophy - I love being a Spurs fan

Excellent choice for #1.

Well done, love your #1 choice.

two legs may be optimal but drogba did pretty well with three

I thought the inclusion of Subri was a little strange, given he's from a fairly unrenowned league, but I just watched it. That is absolutely wild. I think there's even more curl on that than Papiss Cisse's outrageous goal against Chelsea.

Hold on imma let you finish- but Ibra overhead goal is the best of all time

That way Alfie said Abel Aguilar when describing James's goal gave me a good chuckle. Doesn't matter if you can't pronounce foreign names Alfie, your content is great! 😂

Didn't realise Abramovich had won the Puskas Award for Sweden 😂

Salah’a goal winning it over Ronaldo or Bale has forever tarnished this award in my eyes

2 hours since the video was uploaded and again story seems to repeat itself. I am not if my Tweet to you have had anything with this video happening, when I pointed out the comment sections and ask what you think in general. I am digressing now. Anyway I can see that putting Oleksy first have as usual caused a stir. I really don’t understand why they have to be bitter about it. Yes, Oleksy is not the best player there is. Yes, his goal maybe is not as magnificent as some other entries, but sheer fact of how impressive is for that person to have his leg amputated and still go on and fight, and do something that gives all other ppl hope that they can achieve everything cannot be overstated. We have Olympians and we have Paralympians, and believe me that Paralympians in my humble opinion at least deserve even more praise. Imagine the strength of the character they have, the strength of character that Oleksy have to do what he always loved to do, even after losing a leg. HITC Sevens, Alfie, thank you so much for that video, it really made my day.

How Messi didn’t win the 2015 Puskas award is beyond me.

Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 482) I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored. If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.

A 3-5 second clip of each goal is surely allowed

I would have liked an award on how good the goal was rather than how good the player was

Ranking James over Giroud is criminal

Its criminal that Messi haven’t won a puskas with the amazing goals he has scored over the years

Stan Collymore’s commentary on Zlatan’s goal (which is oddly hard to find) is my single favorite piece of sports commentary ever. “Oh my DAYS!!”

Please make a documentary about the following topics: -Corrine Diacre’s controversial/toxic tenure as the manager of France’s Women’s National team which lead her to get sacked last month -The alleged attack on Kheira Hamaroui by her own former PSG Teammate Aminata Diallo -The drama/scandal surrounding Gregg Berhalter and Gio Reyna’s parents during the 2022 FIGA World Cup -Ranking all of the goals that won the FIFA World Cup Goal of the Tournament Award

Best goal ever: Ibra's Bycicle kick 2nd Best Goal ever: Roberto Carlos Freekick vs France 3rd best Goal ever: Some Random Messi solo goal

Didn't even know I was waiting for this, but finally first time mentioning a club I've actually played against! Let's go Miro Stoch and SK Motorlet Prague!

Andros Townsend’s vs City not winning is still the biggest robbery in Puskas award history. Probably the greatest goal I’ve ever witnessed.

12:15 Fuck yeah, Banfield on an HITC Sevenes video! Sure, it hurts that you skip the fact that James Rodriguez won the Argentinean Fist Division Championship with Banfield, his first silverwear of any value (he had won a secondary league in Colombia beforehand), but bringing me back to those happy days was good enough to finish my night on a high note.

Alfie, just letting you know that "Mohd." isn't actually supposed to be pronounced as "Mohd."... it's just a common short form for "Mohammad" in South and South East Asia, so his name's just the Mohammad that I'm sure you're much more familiar with!

Worst Puskas award winning goal ever : Mohamed Salah 2018. 😂😂😂

Messi's 2015 Copa del Rey goal was amazing, never understood why it didn't win the Puskas that year.

Ibra basically ended Shawcross' internstional career, that's a powerful strike

“seeing off competition from messi” has to be the phrase most said in this video

Salah scored better goals himself that same year than the one he won the Puskas Award for.

Zsori puskas was a robery from zlatans back kick goal in the mls

I'm gonna put in another request for a hypothetical starting XI for the East African Federation, a proposed federation (big surprise there) of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. None of them are exactly what you'd call powerhouse footballing nations, with the exception of the DRC, but with plenty of players from those nationalities in the French and German leagues there's bound to be some diamonds in the rough. I did actually send Alfie a Twitter DM detailing my own attempt at an EAF first team, complete with a kit design and a subs bench, but since that didn't get a response I can only assume it got lost in the post. It's not like he'd ignore an unsolicited private message about putting together a national football team for a country that doesn't exist, right? Right? This is request number 24; calling it a streak feels a little disingenuous considering I miss days a lot of the time due to my health. I intend to go for as long as I can until Alfie either makes the video or tells me to bugger off. I'm sure you have your own opinions about which is more likely. =]

I know you don’t tend to do videos like this Alfie but could you do a similar video for this choosing your nomination for the puskas award for every year

Day 5: best XI Brazilians that played for other nations

I am proud to say Ferenc Puskas is my favourite player. His legendary strike-partner Sandor Kocsis is my 7th.

I have to say, the Puskas Award is a unique award in sports history.

watched your video on the most prolific scorers in history which made me think about messi's 91 goal year. Typically international friendlies are counted but not club ones. Of course how competitive they are and how valid counting them may depend but if we count beyond "official goals" do any players exceed messi's tally or exceed 100 in a year? maybe Bican in the 40's? Would love to see a video with the answer to that question as well as the couple highest tallies if so. As you can see I also love the long intros. Enjoyed the video as always!

worst to best: chelsea players who were loaned to vitesse

Maybe the 7 best signings from foreign lower leagues (like Kanté to Leicester and Bellingham to Dortmund)

Hey Alfie, could you do a video on Glentoran and or their 1914 Vienna Cup? They were the first team from the British Isles to win a European trophy. Their stadium alone has seen plenty of history, especially off the field as it’s right next to the shipyards and was even bombed during the Belfast Blitz. The Oval was actually hit by bombs as it was mistaken for an oil storage facility. Nearly everything was destroyed for Glentoran during the Blitz. The Vienna Cup being one of the only things surviving the attack. The Historical Belfast podcast did a fine piece on it but I feel Glentoran deserve the HITC Seven’s treatment as well. Also, George Best was turned down by Glentoran as a boy because he was “too small.”

can we make a video where furtherdo is part of it

i dont really get why they dont do an award for womens, mens and disabled football. There are so many incredible goals and we should celebrate them.

as a hungarian i greatly appreciate alfie's pronunciation of ferenc puskas

Alfie, please make a video about the time when the Jordan national team nearly qualified for the 2014 World Cup finals, but lost to Uruguay in the inter-continental play-off round rather comfortably. It would really mean the World to me as this part of the World is rather overlooked in football. Thank you!

I was a steward at the england v sweden semi final, i was stood on top of the fire exit stair case and had the best view of the goal, from just behind the goal and from above.

I was fortunate enough to watch that match when Neymar scored his Puskas award winning goal, is perhaps one of the best displays of football in the past 40 years or so. Simply a huge comeback from Flamengo with some of Ronaldinho's magic

Thing is I have seen better goals in the non-league/lower leagues than half the goals on this list, need to change the description to "players in the top leagues of their countries"

Happy Monday!

I wish you ranked the goals instead. I thought that was the focus of the video at first

Agree with you there... ranking the goals without being able to show them wouldn't work that well. Hats off for your number 1 pick. Also agree on the Salah goal, goals like that one are a dime a dozen each season. Good goals but not great.

Messi should’ve won in 2007, 2011 and 2015 quite easily

Hey Alfie, unrelated to today's topic but would you consider doing a video on Scunthorpe United? We were playing in the championship ten years ago and we've just been relegated to the sixth tier, the National League North. That's two relegations in two seasons.

17:31 Man, even Abramovič won the puskas? I guess after that Salah's goal winning it anyone can xD

This is a weird video countdown, should have ranked the goals instead.

Salah number five is mad no matter what way you put it.

14:07 the fans in 2019 may have helped Son to get into the 2019 top 3 but *not* to *win* the 2019 Puskás as the rules were changed after Liverpool fans succeeded in using trickery to get Mo Salah to win over more worthy contenders in 2018 (in particular, the favourite, which was against the Liverpool team). Since that scandal, the governing body has allowed only pundits to choose the winner.

Please rank one on the beauty of the goal

Video idea: Top seven B/reserve team stories. Some fascinating tales particularly in Spain and Germany to light up my sad life.

Alfie, what editing software do you use ?

best penalty takers of all time

Puskas was a fat old man who looked 15 years older than he was. Legend of the game never needed fitness or healthy diet to be a GOAT

Alfie what editing software ?

Unexpected, given the title, to see Pompey in the first second of this video.

Sure Alfie just said abramovic when talking about zlatan lol😂

No mention of Valentino Lazaro's amazing scorpion kick goal that in my opinion mainly lost to Lamela due to Puskas also being a bit of a popularity contest... that and it would've been more notable had the goal actually mattered, since it was basically just a consolation goal.

video idea: Best individual season ever ranked

Name of the background music?

Jamie Proctor's scissor kick last season. UTV⚫⚪

An absolute travesty that Riley McGree didn’t win the 2018 Puskas Award with his scorpion kick.

can you make one video about malaysia? any topic, maybe the league or player or national team?

Messi not winning this award just shows how ridiculous these goals are

Don't make a further Ado joke or draw 20. Alfie:

Zlatan!!!!

Fun fact: due to the controversy backlash from fans and even players over Mo Salah winning the Puskas Award in 2018 for his boring goal against Everton over the other finalists in that year’s 10-man shortlist for the Puskas Award, which included Benjamin Pavard for his goal (Pavard also won the FIFA World Cup Goal of the Tournament Award for his iconic goal and in my opinion, he should have won the Puskas that year) vs. Argentina in the 2018 World Cup and Gareth Bale for his bicycle kick in the Champions League Final, FIFA changed the rules for the Puskas Award. Once the 10 Finalists for the Puskas Award are released, the fans get to vote for their favorite goal and then a FIFA technical committee (whose members change each year I believe) selects the Winner of the Puskas Award from the 3 goals that received the most votes

No. 1 was quite the twist

It’s always messi and neyamr who were competion that was seen off

Robin Van Per 2014 Fifa World Cup, Giovanni van Bro 2010 Fifa World Cup and Dele Ali against Crystal Palace goals deserve honorable mentions

I agree Alfie i agree

As a Malaysian football fans, yes Faiz Subri career is not that great. After winning the puskas awards, his careers was all over the place. A good free kick taker, but otherwise a mediocre player at best when compare to his peers.

Caroline Weir is from Dunfermline and a Dunfermline fan and I just had to mention it because come on the pars, thank you

Video idea: 7 managers who refuse to retire (Hodgson, Neil Warnock, Dick Advocaat etc)

I have an idea for a video... how about longest losing streaks by top flight teams?

Salahs puskas winner is the obvious worst one before even watching this list

The thing about Neymar's goalscoring record is that most of it is goals scored in friendlies so their importance is minimal.

Mind numbing

I am once again asking for a video about Algeria's unofficial FLN national team (1958-1962)

Aleesia Russo went to school near me and was in the same group as me, she could always ball

I really think Giroud is underrated here. He's 5th or 6th imo.

Rodriguez also won the Europa League in 2011 with FC Porto since u forgot to mentioned a Europa League title
