Sportsocracy - 15th Edition - Part 2 - Some Top goals: Possibly of all time - Video clip special - World Class Headers.

Lets get straight to the point, we have all seen World Class goals at the feet of legends but what about headers? Heading is a technique not all players have in their artillery. Only some have the perfect technique to generate full power and accuracy. Here are some of the greatest ever headers, some bullets, but all of which are brilliantly headed goals.

Into the starting blocks with a couple of favourites of mine. UEFA cup final, Celtic versus Porto, 2003. Henrik Larsson shows what a special player he is with two out of this world headed goals.Here is the first of his two goals, cross courtesy of flying french man Didier Agathe, look at Larsson as he gets hang time like Michael Jordan, and the angle is so acute its actually unbelievable this goes in, enjoy -



Larsson's second came from a textbook Alan Thompson corner. Again if you want to see perfect heading technique just sit back and watch, oh and again witness the airtime this guys gets. Air Jordan? Air Larsson more like -



Now for Jared Borgetti. On the world stage with millions of people watching it can only be breathtaking to witness a brilliantly headed goal such as this especially when it is against Italy in 2002 at the Korea/Japan World cup -



The next special bonce bouncerific goal came from Pole come German, Miroslav Klose. Set the scene, World Cup 2006. Germany trail Argentina 1-0 with the clock just at over 79 minutes. German fans are starting to face the facts that they maybe heading out of the world cup. Argentina were holding fort with some typical great Argentine defending. Just as German heads started to go down, out of nothing came this -



How could I not mention Zinedine Zidane? He maybe mentioned more than once or twice throughout this compendium of videos I have in store for you and it breaks my heart as a fan of Brazilian football to include this video. The day the french revolution gave European Football a place on the world stage and also a day where Brazil showed they are not immortal. Proof Zidane was a complete player, he even scored headers -



Set the stage once again Place - Madrid Date - 5 April 1989 Real Madrid versus AC Milan. Goliaths collide, behemoths battle titans tussle. You get the picture. Mr Van Basten shows us how class he was. With his head -



Next up on the video special. Moments of sheer individual genius perhaps, or could it be out of this world team goals. Who knows stay focused keep your eyes peeled for the next part of this video-palooza.
