I remember this, would it be allowed today ?

Did the FA not ban this move?

Think so , never seen it since

Arsenal would be OK doing it, rest of league, no chance 👍

Probably Liverpool also

Yeah, probs 🙄

Willie Carr I believe. It was outlawed by th FA soon after, saying the ball needed to roll, or something to that effect.

NO. For the same reason a penalty would be disallowed. He touched the ball twice ⚽️

It was banned after that goal🤷‍♂️

And the following Monday a million schoolkids were trying to do it in the playground…

VAR would find a forensic double touch 🤣

It was banned the Monday after this game.😭😭😭

No - it was later outlawed.

Was there, Willie Carr & Ernie Hunt . We were copying it in the playground for weeks after.

You were at the match ?

Behind the goal in the West End, about half way up, Cov won 3-1.

It was banned afterwards. But i lived that goal and I’m an Everton fan. Willie Carr and Ernie Hunt scoring for Coventry City, if I remember correctly 👍

The FA banned this move immediately afterwards

Against Everton, yes, but it wouldn't be allowed against any of the sly 6 - UTFT

Willie Carr and Ernie Hunt Us kids were practicing it in the back lanes for weeks 😎

Maybe still legal? I would have sworn it was banned following that goal, but Law 13.2 still says: “A free kick can be taken by lifting the ball with a foot or both feet simultaneously” Perhaps confusing with le Tissier flicking up to himself, which isn’t allowed now?

Yes it got banned

Man City would be allowed to do it for about five years then Everton would get fined for trying to do it.

The Willie Carr flick and Ernie Hunt Volley .

Great, old fashioned skills 👌🏼⚽️

It got stopped the very same season by the f.a. if I remember right, carr flicked the ball up Hunt scored? 🤔 and you ask me what I had for tea last night and I can't remember 🙄

I'm sure they banned it shortly after bleeding kill joys

Ernie Hunt … his name came to me instantly. OMG I am so old. 😩

If they kicked a leather ball like that today, they would be rolling around in agony.

VAR would take an hour to decide!🤷‍♂️😥

It was banned because the ball did not move forward by one circumference.

The Donkey kick

I remember obvious that it is a double touch But it stood the name Hunt comes to mind

It wasn’t allowed within about 6 months of it happening

I think the sky blue guy is too close to the wall, but otherwise it'd be fine.

Ernie Hunt flicked it up for Willie Carr

When shirt numbers meant something. God, I'm old 😉

No. Far to exciting and skillful.

It was jaw-dropping invention at the time. Willie Carr and Ernie Hunt

Yep !

No. It was banned.
