2004- Angelos Charisteas
The most famous goal in Greek history came from Angelos Charisteas in Lisbon, Portugal at Euro 2004.
After heading home a goal to beat France in the quarterfinals, Charisteas duplicated his feat with a header against Portugal in the final.
The 2004 triumph was and still is the biggest moment in Greek footballing history.
2008- Zlatan Ibrahimovic
As promised, here is more from Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
This goal against Greece opened the scoring for Zlatan and for Sweden at Euro 2008.
The 2-0 win over the defending champions would be the only positive result in Austria and Switzerland for the Swedes as they exited in the group stage.
2008- Michael Ballack
Two years before the influx of youth in the Germany squad in South Africa, they were led by a group of veterans that included captain Michael Ballack.
In the final group game, Germany needed a win over co-hosts Austria to advance into the knockout round.
This free kick goal in the 49th minute was enough to continue Germany's path to the final.
2008- David Villa
David Villa was the leading goal-scorer at Euro 2008 with four goals.
Three of those four came in the first group match against Russia, and his third and final effort on goal was his best that day.
Spain beat Russia 4-1 and then 3-0 in the semifinals on their way to hoisting the trophy in Vienna.
