Today marks 34 years since a nineteen-year-old Irish lad scored this belter from outside the box at Carrow Road. Six months earlier, he had cost Nottingham Forest just £47,000 from Cobh Ramblers. His name was Roy Keane. Looks a player, him.

It’s 28 years to the day since this wonderful Georgi Kinkladze solo goal against West Ham in the FA Cup. Made even better by that glorious sound as the ball whacks the old post on it’s way in. Hugely satisfying from start to finish.

It’s 35 years to the day since David Platt scored this forgotten beauty at Loftus Road. A combination of a lengthy run, mazy dribble and a bullet finish, leaves the home fans with little choice but to applaud. Platty was at the peak of his powers here.

It’s the 30th anniversary of this lovely bit of gamesmanship from Gary McAllister and John Pemberton at Elland Road. Here they carry an injured Peter Ndlovu off the field, before taking a quick throw-in which leads to a goal for McAllister. Merciless.

On this day in the year 2000, Michael Owen scored this vastly underrated goal against Brazil at Wembley. The touch, control and composure all within a split second here is just delightful. Owen in an England shirt was outstanding at times. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

A reminder of the last time a World Cup finals draw took place in the USA in December 1993, when Robin Williams stole the show by pissing about on stage and repeatedly making fun of Sepp Blatter. FIFA hasn’t invited a comedy genius to help out since.

Tonight in 1982, Aston Villa beat Bayern Munich in the European Cup Final. But after just 10 mins, sub keeper Nigel Spink came on for the injured Jimmy Rimmer, having only played one previous game in the first team. Peter Withe was the match winner, but Spink was the hero.
