“…5 There are some examples of goal celebrations before this period; for example, Denis Law's raising his arm into the air in his playing career which spanned the 1960s and 70s, Johnny Metgod's fist pumping in 1986, and Marco Tardelli's ecstatically emotional 'running nowhere' celebration during the World Cup final of 1982. 6 However, these references do not provide any real insight into the social or cultural significance of those celebrations.…”

The essay offers a critique of the changing social, cultural and political significance of goal celebrations by considering how, during the transition from football as a local, proletarian, masculine industry and product of Fordist modernity to a global, mediated, paradoxical entertainment spectacle, a postmodern culture of goal celebration has emerged, which acts as a comment on or reaction to modernity. In many cases, individual postmodern goal scorers have shifted their interest from a concern with the ultimate end of scoring a goal and restarting the game as soon as possible, to a pragmatic concern relating to\ud the optimal performance of celebration. Through a series of genres, the essay discusses how the postmodern goal celebration in creative modernity has several styles, all of which demonstrate the way in which football culture ‘has become increasingly self-reflexive, juxtapositional and parodic through the growing irrelevance of a stable conception of reality’
