Name some great long range(out of box to 40meters) and long long range(over 40 meters) shooters?

Darron Gibson.
Think that was the only thing he was quite good at, the rest he was on league 2 level.
Roberto Carlos.
Ronald Koeman.
Chris Brunt.
Charlie Adam.

Your thread title offends me.

Over 40 meters? Not many would shoot from that range.
Gibson once a master of this aspect
I never thought that way when I typed that title.Batigol
Robben

I know, but some like Beckham, Alonso, Rivaldo, Koeman were kinda threats even from that range.
Absolutely loved Gibson.

I know it's already been mentioned, but Roberto Carlos would be my answer.
That said, one of my favourite strikes from distance of all time has to be Ronaldo vs Porto in the CL.
What a strike that was.

always remember that free kick against blackburn, couldn't believe he shot from there, shit keeping though the ball moved a canny bit
in recent times Yaya and Kolarov were decent from distance for City
Michael Essien.
Pogba used to score from range for fun at youth level and scored quite a few for Juve too. Its only a matter of time till we see it again.
I seem to remember Micheal Ballack scoring a few.
Koeman was pretty much the king of them. Between him and Charlton for me.
This one's not bad
Oswald
Anyone remember the name of that left footed player for Portsmouth who suddenly got insanely good at long range goals in one season?
Beat me too it. Cracking goal.
Matt Taylor?
From the ones that haven't been mentioned thus far: Puskás, Eusébio, Haan, Rivelino.
e.g. Haan scored 2 high profile ones en route to the World Cup final in '78.
vs. West Germany:
vs. Italy:
And over the last decade...Wesley Sneijder has been quite good at converting from outside of the box.

Olly Lee vs Cambridge on Saturday :-)
Brazil vs. Argentina WC 1982. Eder. Hit the bar but I still remember it like it was yesterday. Him and Roberto Carlos.
Yes that's the one. Thanks!
Hulk also comes to mind.
How would you rate Forlan? He was incredible at those in the 2006 WC.
Good shout, Hitzlsperger has an enormous power and you got up from the couch when he locked and loaded
That was ridiculous. Just pure audacity, I remember the pub I was in just sitting in silence after it went in for a few seconds, before one bloke went "...fecking hell!" and the place erupted.
