We set aside Bergkamp versus Newcastle and Di Canio vs Wimbledon as we pick the strikes that should be remembered more.
With this in mind, we asked Seb Stafford-Bloor to produce a list of the Premier League's most undervalued, underappreciated, and just forgotten moments of genius. The ones that don't come to mind every time the league is discussed; the second or third-best moments from a player that you might not recall.
It's natural to lose a few memories over the course of 30 years... But we can't afford to lose any of them.
1. Steve Froggatt (Coventry vs Everton, 1998)
2. Rod Wallace (Leeds vs Tottenham, 1994)
3. Paolo Di Canio (West Ham vs Chelsea, 2003)
4. Harry Kewell (Leeds vs Sheffield Wednesday, 2000)
5. Benito Carbone (Sheffield Wednesday vs Newcastle, 1997)
6. Tom Huddlestone (Tottenham vs Man City, 2006)
7. Lee Bowyer (Leeds vs West Brom, 2002)
8. David Beckham (Man United vs West Ham, 1996)
9. Ian Wright (Arsenal vs Leeds, 1995)
10. Juninho (Middlesbrough vs Man United, 1997)
Middlesbrough had been relegated at the end of May 1997 - "by men in grey suits," as Brian Robson would later describe their infamous points deduction.
The month finished with tears at Elland Road, but it began with sprightly delight at Old Trafford: if that 3-3 draw typified Boro's weaknesses (losing a 3-1 lead), it also typified them at their finest.
After 20 minutes, a flowing, free-form move involving combinations of high-priced imports (Ravenelli, Emerson) and industrial-but-emboldened locals (Phil Stamp, Robbie Mustoe, Craig Hignett) ripped Manchester United to shreds on their own turf, before Juninho opened his body and landed on Peter Schmeichel's backside.
It's probably worth including only for John Lukic's pitiful face.
Wright isn't recognized for his finesse since Thierry Henry replaced him, but he did have this in his locker. Examine his goal-scoring record: his chip at the County Ground against Swindon and his lofted finish over Bryan Gunn at Carrow Road, in particular, serve as reminders of his versatility.
But this was his crowning achievement: a brilliant display of his ingenuity in attacking positions and a lovely sand-wedged finish that rooted Lukic and tangled the unfortunate David Wetherall. During his prime, Wright was a lively forward who pushed, antagonized, and enraged opponents. But this was his lighter side – and a goal that deserved to be celebrated.
