I thread in my taste 
I wasn't the most prolific scorer, to say the least, I used to play as fullback or winger but I remember this one time when I all of a sudden found myself in the scoring position. Someone made a shot and the goalie just punched it away, towards me. I chested the ball down, found myself having not enough time to get a good shot away. I somehow lobbed the ball over my own shoulder turned around and made a overhead-kick. When I landed I see the ball sailing away, ending up as a perfect lob over the goalkeeper and, off the crossbar, into the goal. The best thing of it was that a mom of one of the players in my team was making a team-video for the cup and she recorded the whole thing

overhead kick wow! Never done one of them myself, probably never will
I've had a couple of great personal moments...
In my first match for my new club I scored a wonderful goal. The match was tied at 4-4 with about 15 minutes to go. We won the ball in the midfield, our right sided and very fast winger took control, bursted down the pitch. He ran by about 3 opponents before he send me a perfect cross. I received it in the left side of the box... I controlled it on my chest, and then I volleyed it in to the corner. A great goal if you ask me.
Later that season our goalkeeper got injured right before a match, so our coach gave me the job to defend our goal. We were up by 3-2, when one of our defenders had his hands on the ball in the box. Of course the ref gave them a penalty. I remember wondering about which side to jump to... and suddenly my opponent ran up to take the penalty. I jumped to the right and saved the ball and the day.
Well thats my story. Right now there's a long winter break in Denmark, so I won't be out there until march. Hopefully I'll be playing some great matches, so I can brag about them here

ok well i can't answer best save ever cause I refuse to go in goal..I can do the other two though!
best tackle, well probably not but I remember it. A guy had sprinted past the guy that was meant to mark him, so i came across, sprinted to catch up, slid from behind at full stretch and hooked the ball clear
I remember it cause I looked down at my leg, it was covered in blood..I had just slid in a broken glass bottle..scarrred for life at the expense of a tackle

best goal, this rocks:
kinda route one stuff, but I liked it!
Goalie launches a massive kick upfield, its landing just behind me, so i flicked the ball up, over my head, and past my marker. He is totally stuck, i run past him, ball bounces once, and a half volley from just outside the area, keeper doesn't move, its in the top corner before he can react

Kalle - that volley sounds great! :lick:
You stopped a penalty? I never managed to do that! :groan:

That penalty save was pure luck! As I said I was wondering about which way to go, when he suddenly took the penalty. I had no idea where he was gonna put it... But i leaped to the right and caught the ball... very lucky!
Of course thats not how I tell the story while I'm telling it to my friends
How about you Erik... any great moments in your "career"???
one of my worst and best moment joined together was..
the quater-finals, my lowly team against the tournament faves..my team managed a good 2-2 draw..during the extra time, our keeper got injured(horrible,broke his leg or sth like that)..and since we used all two of our subs, i became the replacement keeper..penalty shoot-out....both teams skored 2 outta 3 pens..my turn to be GK again..he kicked, i dived. i pushed the ball, but it hit the post as i looked on, but it bounced back and hit my..NOSE..yes..it was so fast that my nose actually bleeded..we won the shootout eventually (including me missing a penalty
)...

Hey, at least you won the shootout with you on goal! Not many professional keepers can say that!
