    Guess the player from the goal

    Just thought of this...so haven't thought it through...might be shite but sod it.

    Give as much or as little detail as possible.

    Tackle from behind to win the ball, sprang up and swivelled in one movement and produced an incredible chip over the 'keeper from the edge of the box.

    if you're not sure, the 'keeper was Joe Corrigan.

    Feel free to add your own.

    Sounds like either Pedro or Gazza.

    Beardsley, I reckon - mid 80’s…?

    It’s been a while since I’ve seen that clip - obscene amount of skill, imagine what Sir Eddie could do with a raw PB in this era?!

    Another one.

    Left-footed volley from way outside the box into the bottom corner of the Gallowgate net. Unlikely goal and very unlikely scorer.

    Not Cheick Tioté - Arsenal comeback game surely?

    All I needed was ‘tackle from behind to win the ball’. Lost count of the times I saw him (and only him) do it.

    Who else could it be? What an incredible game that was. I don't believe there really was anything on the line for us in that particular game, yet that draw (!) was so important. And the comeback in of itself was just unbelievable. Exceptional game of football.

    Also, Cheick deserves applause for his goal celebration - he went absolutely mad which is the only way to celebrate a goal like that. It was like watching a young kid in the schoolyard scoring his first. Most natural thing ever. Beautiful, when you think of it.

    Here goes;

    Receives the ball at somewhere around the halfway line, takes it past two players, gets into the box and with something like four opponent players surrounding him he does a few twists and turns and smashes the ball into the roof of the net.
