Emmo has a few in this countdown. Bonus one here from Richard Johnson (1999-00) that missed the cut because I couldn't convince myself that it didn't take a touch.
19. Robbie Slater v Blackburn (1995-96)
18. Aaron Mooy v Bournemouth (2019-20)
17. Richard Johnson v Manchester United (1999-00)
Lashing one past Bozza at Old Trafford. What a legend.

16. Hayden Foxe v Leeds (2003-04)
Rubbish from Robinson, but a Hayden Foxe goal on the turn from 20 yards? This is why we play.

Oof, some real unfortunate timing here.

13. Chris Herd v Liverpool (2011-12)
As far as I can tell, 2015 AFC Asian Cup winner Chris Herd has scored two goals in all comps since sticking one in at Anfield eight and a bit years ago.

7. John Aloisi v Blackburn (1998-99)
Johnny A hammering in a volley with his right foot and slapping Danny Mills round the head all in the same video. Something for everyone.

Final day, Blackburn battling relegation and Emmo produces this volley. Give that man the $10,000.

That's Emmo's second goal against Wolves on this list and the third overall. Almost as if it's some karmic Australian football response to something...
1. Stan Lazaridis v Newcastle (1997-98)
I swear you'll never see anything like this ever again.
