Best free kick scorers so far

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

we used to shout "sheedy" whenever we got a free kick but as far as i recollect he just stopped scoring them and didnt get one for a few years. great left peg like that could produce pinpoint accurate passes like

Simple answer really...

1) Juninho Pernambucano
2) David Beckham
3) Kevin Sheedy
4) Rivaldo
5) Andrea Pirlo

In that order

 

[FC Brugge]

Beckham used to be the king at them. i dont care how much of a nancy he can be, but dammit he used to curl em like no one else could

other nice ones: juninho & ronaldinho before he got fat

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Juninho Pernanbucano is a really good shout actually and Van Hoijdoink was pretty damn prolific but before he went off the boil Ronaldinho could make the ball talk and going back a bit Ronald Koeman desrves a mention. Having said all that, the best I've ever seen would be Platini or Rainer Bonhof

Riqueleme was always fairly decent.

This Nakamura one always sticks in my mind though -

[Bruce Wayne]

Zola had a tremendous success rate at free kicks so should be up there.

Beckham. None better and more consistent than him.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I've read that Del Piero has a 1/3 success rate with free kicks. Not sure how true that is.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Le Tissier should probably warrant a mention as well. He was lethal from dead ball situations, whilst Mihajlovic has I believe scored the most free kicks in the history of Serie A.

 

[John Lennon]

Rogerio Ceni the GOALKEEPER from Sao Paolo, amazing free kick taker, check him out on youtube. He scored 47 Free Kicks in his career. haha unbelievable, I wonder if he ever hit the wall and the opposition went down the other end and scored.

Del Piero, Nakamura, Juninho, Beckham and Assuncao all deserve mention aswell.

Becks hit a great one against Barcelona in their friendly over the weekend.
