David Ginola at 50: Five of his best goals for Tottenham and Newcastle

David Ginola spent seven memorable years in English football after joining Newcastle United from Paris Saint-Germain in 1995. The maverick France winger is best remembered for stunning goals and silky footwork for Newcastle and Tottenham, but he also had spells at Aston Villa and Everton.

There are so many classic Ginola goals it is hard to pick out a definitive top five but, on his 50th birthday, we had a go.

1. NEWCASTLE UNITED vs. Ferencvaros, October 1996

A masterpiece that made Dele Alli's goal against Crystal Palace look average. Newcastle were leading 2-0 against the Hungarians in the UEFA Cup when Keith Gillespie's corner was flapped at by the goalkeeper.
