If such a thread has existed before I apologise but I felt this was a good idea for a new sport related thread, yes, again it’s about football (though really you could extend to any sport if you so wished).

Georgios Katidis' nazi salute

Brandi Chastain's iconic pose

Interestingly, Shearer is in contention with one of the more simplistic celebrations of all time. :lol:

The Shearer one was distinctly UNmemorable!
