In the wake of Bobby Zamora's inexplicable miss for Fulham against Manchester City on Sunday, Extrafootie feels it appropriate to have a look at some of the greatest misses in football history!

Sticking the ball in the back of the net is widely recognised as being the hardest thing to do in football, and these five shocking misses below appear to confirm that theory!

5: Jon Dahl Tomasson - The Denmark international tried to laugh off this incredible miss from just two yards out when playing for Feyenoord in an Eredivise game against NAC Breda. Luckily for him regardless of the miss, AC Milan still opted to sign the front man in 2002!



4: Chris Iwelumo – The Wolves striker will never EVER forget this miss on his debut for Scotland as he somehow missed from two yards in a crucial World Cup qualifier against Norway. D'oh!



3: Bobby Zamora- The former Tottenham and Brighton & Hove Albion hitman will be trying to forget this unfortunate piece of attempted finishing against City! How does the song go again..."When the ball hits the goal, its not Shearer or Cole, NOR Zamoraaa…!"



2: This Dynamo Kiev player had an incredible four bites at the cherry but failed to convert any of the chances, unlucky or just plain awful? You decide…



1: Ronny Rosenthal – After evading Aston Villa defender Shaun Teale and goalkeeper Nigel Spink the Liverpool striker's finish seemed a forgone conclusion but to astonishment of everyone things did not go as planned…



However, the unlucky five listed can take encouragement from this miss by arguably the greatest player in the world today.

Cristiano Ronaldo narrowly missed out on top five inclusion with this miss for Manchester United against Sheffield United, demonstrating that even the best in the world have their off days!
