Came here to post this. He was unplayable that day.

Whole team was, start of that season was incredible football we were slaughtering teams.

I dont think there’s film of it or even pictures ,but I vaguely remember a headed goal by Colin Bell , possibly versus Newcastle at Maine road .
Breathtaking for the leap ,not the power or distance.
I’m ancient so doubt anyone else here recalls this

One of the best headers I've seen was Borgetti for Mexico against Italy at the 2002 WC. Not a bullet header but technically so difficult to pull off. The replay shows how he is running diagonally across the goal then redirects the ball to the other corner, the timing to crane his neck round and glance it perfectly over the keeper is incredible. Leaves Buffon totally stranded. Nine times out of ten gets nowhere near but it's clearly deliberate and he executes it to perfection. Definitely up there for me.

I know some hate the bloke, but the height he managed to get which shows better on the final replay deserves a mention.

The best headerer (sp) of a ball of I've seen in my lifetime has to be Bierhoff. The power he used to generate off them was crazy. It was as if he got a buzz out of doing it, the same way Roberto Carlos would take a freekick.
