Some over-exciteable celebrations:

Yesterday saw several over-excited goal celebrations, especially at Anfield when RB Salzburg coach/manager invaded the Liverpool pitch and left the team "technical area", clearly a bookable offence. It might insight poor crowd behaviour, it wastes time and of course is bad manners!
I shall write to FIFA/TheFA and suggest that once a goal is scored the attacking team is not allowed to touch the ball again until the kick off and the opposing side can get the ball and return to kick off as soon as they like, even if the oppo are still doing dives and building pyramids around their corner flag.

Dixie Dean, famously a centre-forward at Everton, scored 100 goals in 1927-8 in all competitions. His celebration consisted of hitching up his shorts, jogging back to the centre-circle and possibly sharing a hand shake with his mates.
The 1960s saw the initiation of "punching the air" once a goal was scored....later Mick Channon twirled his right arm around like a windmill when running back to the half way line.
Tony Coleman of Manchester City, definitely wanted to avoid hugging and kissing, so he told his manager!
Brian Fidler of Macclesfield, Heanor and Burton in the 1960-70s, scored in a Cheshire League match and taunted the Altrincham officials, whose manager, Freddie Pye, threw a bucket of water over him. Fidler did score in the 1970 FA Trophy Final at Wembley, so he lapped the pitch, jumped over the barrier to hug the fans.
Sub Perry Groves, knocked himself out on the "dug out" roof when he jumped up to celebrate an Arsenal goal.
Babyaro broke his leg doing a back somersault when one of his Chelsea team mates slotted a goal.
You may remember Roger Osborne of Ipswich Town falling off a pyramid and being overwhelmed, when he scored the winner in the 1978 FA Cup Final. Overcome by emotions he was not able to carry on and so was substituted.
To complete the trio of finals, when Andy Kinsey of Nantwich Town, playing in the FA Vase, threw his shirt into the crowd, after the final whistle and dislocated his shoulder.
There are many other amusing events which might involve a brawl in the goal net as players fight for the ball, ridiculous time wasting and for once
common sense when Andrew Johnson, once of Birmingham City, scored against his old club when playing for Crystal Palace in October 2004. He simply did a "Dixie Dean" and earned his place in history alongside one of the greats!
