Once you’ve played FIFA for a while, sometimes the celebrations available can become a little tedious, and not do justice to the worldie you’ve just scored.

Ten managers possibly on the move this summer: Including ex-Liverpool & Real Madrid managers
Liverpool legend labels Jamie Carragher a ‘terrible manager’
So here are some of the real-life celebrations etched in our memory that deserve to be included in the next edition of the game:
Robbie Fowler snorting cocaine
The Liverpool legend responded to abuse he was receiving from the Everton fans in the Merseyside Derby in 1999 with two goals in a 3-2 win at Anfield. Fowler had been accused of using drugs by the Toffees’ fans during the game, so when he scored he pretended the snort along the white lines of the pitch.
Wayne Rooney punch-up
Manchester United played Tottenham earlier this month just hours after a video had emerged of Wayne Rooney appearing to be knocked out by former teammate Phil Bardsley. The England captain kept quiet over the incident until he put United ahead at Old Trafford, where he celebrated by throwing a few air punches, before collapsing to the ground.
Paul Gascoigne’s dentist chair
The England maestro scored a wonderful goal to give his side the lead against Scotland in Euro 96. The team had been previously been pictured in a nightclub sitting in a dentist’s chair position whilst drinks were poured down their throats. So to respond, Gazza got on the floor, whilst his teammates squirted water at him, replicating the controversial photos.
Jimmy Bullard’s telling off
One of the iconic images of the 2008-09 Premier League season was Phil Brown giving his Hull side a very public hairdryer moment against Manchester City. Brown did his fiery half-time teamtalk on the pitch. Nearly twelve months later, and Jimmy Bullard scored a penalty which levelled the game at the Etihad. To celebrate, the players mimicked the dressing-down from the previous year, with the midfielder pretending to be Brown.
Finidi George’s weeing dog
The midfielder celebrated scoring for Nigeria against Greece during the 1994 World Cup, by getting all on fours like a dog and pretending to urinate on the pitch.
Craig Bellamy’s golf club
The Welsh striker had allegedly been involved in an altercation with teammate John Arne Riise, which apparently ended with Bellamy hitting the Norwegian with a golf club. During their next game against Barcelona, Bellamy scored and proceeded to swing an imaginary club.
