Watch from 1:15 and then look at what foot he's using. Right footed, but outward curve. Goal keeper was probably expecting this to go wide. But from this angle at 1:15 you can see just how truly special it is.

Anyone found a clip of Johnny Crumplin's screamer away to Blackpool?

My memory is not what it used to be but possibly 86/87. Bton won 3-1 with two late goals, one of which was a crumplin screamer

That was 1987/88. A VHS of that game does exist somewhere but I lost the eBay auction for it.

And it's all gone quiet..
You think Zlatan's goal was better than this?
Zlatan's was an overhead kick into an empty goal in a friendly against defenders that are sub-par. Rooney scored, under pressure from defenders in an important league game against United's strongest challengers.

I think Zlatan's was better because of the sheer audacity to try it and there's still a pressure to score even with an empty net, it's never empty for long! It would be hard enough hitting the target from that distance with a normal volley, let alone an overhead kick.

Rooney shinned it.

Zlatan had less time to calculate and it was an unconventional technique. Whereas with Rooney, it came at an optimum angle.

...And the pass wasn't bad either! There is a goal of his that I cannot find on YouTube - Arsenal v European side, I think the Arse were already 3 - 0 up when Bergkgamp did a pinpoint lob over the goalkeeper - with his back to the goal. I recall that in the interview after he said that he had noticed the goalie was one who spent a lot of his time off the line.
I saw Mr B once described as "...a god become footballer" and I don't think that a bad description. He didn't just score goals, he created works of art (see also v Newcastle, greatest Premier League goal ever?).
