Maverick headers, potty-mouthed sportsmen and Roy Keane's laser-stare | Classic YouTube | Sport | guardian.co.ukMaverick headers, potty-mouthed sportsmen and Roy Keane's laser-stare
The Republic of Ireland v Italy at USA 94, a young Kevin Keegan and Brett Favre's miracle also feature in this week's round-up
1) If you're scoring your 200th goal in the Argentinian top flight, you might as well mark the occasion in style. What better way to do so than by nodding home the winner for Boca Juniors in a five-goal thriller at La Bombonera against Velez Sarsfield ... from 40 metres out. Martin Palermo take a bow.
2) Another remarkable header, albeit less intentional. A young Steve Waugh scones Arjuna Ranatunga on the back of the head whilst throwing for a run-out. Here are some more comedy cricket injuries (unless you're on the receiving end), plus a nasty collision/astonishing catch combo.
3) The only things missing are the red beams, as a BBC reporter is subjected to Roy Keane's most gimlet-eyed laser-stare for having the brass neck to ask if the Ipswich Town manager might walk away from his latest managerial post. Those toes you can hear curling are your own. We're not sure why Keano took umbrage at the question - it's not as if the former Manchester United midfielder is without form in the field of messy, unexpected break-ups. To see a more cherubic, cuddly and - let's face it - infinitely less entertaining Keane, click here.
4) On the subject of former Republic of Ireland internationals, Keane's old team entertain Italy this weekend in a crunch World Cup qualifier. Italy may be hot favourites, but a win for the Irish wouldn't be unprecedented in World Cup history, as this footage from the finals at USA 94 attests. Marvel at the tears of joy, marvel at Terry Phelan's facial expression, marvel at the American commentators referring to Ireland as "England" before describing Ray Houghton's shots as "a chipper".
5) We don't feature table tennis very often on Classic YouTube for fairly obvious reasons: because it's rubbish. At least that's what we thought until we saw this rally, followed by this wizardry. Finally, would the last two nerds with far too much time on their hands please turn off the lights.
6) Parental advisory alert! It may not be his mother tongue, but Heerenveen potty-mouth Christian Grindheim is able to tell this cameraman where to go in perfect English. Elsewhere, Sir Alex Ferguson gets a ticking-off for dropping the b-bomb, while an umpire gives former Baltimore Orioles coach Earl Weaver as good as he gets in a breathtakingly foul-mouthed tirade.
The best from last week's blog
1) English football's decidedly unimaginative pitch invaders could learn a thing or two from this bloke.
2) The title of this clip is "If You Watch 100 Times You Will Still Laugh". Whoever named it isn't exaggerating. We hope you like the pain.
3) Man on skis and under helmet-cam gets caught in avalanche. Scary stuff.
4) An innocent, fresh-faced young teenager who's just broken into the Scunthorpe first team does his first ever TV interview. His name? Kevin Keegan.
5) With two seconds left on the clock, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre, age 66, throws a miracle pass to stun the San Francisco 49ers.
6) If basketball players get three points for shooting a basket from "down town", how many do they get for scoring from the other side of a big house or halfway down a waterslide?
