Juninho - little genius. Again how do you pick 3 from his repertoire, his portfolio, his symphony of goals. Very difficult indeed but give it a go we shall. Theres some important goals and there's some spectacular ones and they all brought pure joy. Picked a shortlist of 11 but it could have been longer :-
Nottingham Forest Away. 24.8.96 Emerson lay off to his left and Juninho in on the charge smashes it rightfoot at the near post. The Boro fans behind that goal go bonkers. Great goal
Everton Away 14.9.96 quick interpassing on the edge of the area, Barmby back heel into the path of Juninho who whips it across to the keepers right.
FAC 6th Round. March 1997 Brilliant individual goal jinking his way through and setting up historic FAC QF victory at the Baseball Ground
Leicester Away ( Juninho's match) March 1997 Breakaway goal running from just inside the opposing half and rounding the keeper to cap a great performance.
Chelsea Home March 20 1997 Brilliant diving header starting and finishing a pinpoint Beck cross
Man United Away April 1997 Opening the scoring with a series of passing movements across United's box before appearing at the far post to slam across the keeper
Man United Home 10.4.2000 cutting in from the right, beating two defenders easily before unleashing an unstoppable drive into the fear post
Everton Away April 2000 at Goodison. Mesmorising run and one two on tech edge of the box before dummying the keeper
Leeds Away 15/3/2003 Stated at the edge of our own box ball worked down the left from George - eventually falling to the little man 27 yards out and firing an unstoppable goal
Blackburn Away Dec 2003 His second goal cutting in from the right when nothing seemed on and unleashing a thunderbolt to the far corner in pouring rain.
That jig of celebration scoring the winner against Arsenal LC Semi final away at Highbury January 2004
How do you pick from that little lot? I go for :-
1. His diving header winner against Chelsea at Riverside 20/3/97 starting and ending the move. Such an important game to win.
2. His jinking run to score the opener against Derby in the FAC QF at the Baseball Ground
3. Man United Home 10.4.2000 the mazy run from the left before curling an unstoppable shot in at the far post.
