GreenGoblin vs. Spidey

I've never really read any of the comics with Norman Osborn as green goblin, I'm from the Hobgoblin period (90's) but i've always heard he was a vicious S.O.B. which makes him a MAJOR pain in Spideys ass.
His long list of misdeeds include dropping Pete's girlfriend Gwen Stacy off a bridge, mayhem and other acts of supreme ass-ishness.
Also, people just seem want to fallow in the douche's footsteps. There's have been several other green goblins (including his own son), 4 hoblgoblins, a demogoblin, a grey goblin and a new villain using goblin tech called Menace.
