Moments that changed football

...good or bad.

A player doing something outrageous that every kid tried the next day, a rule change that totally changed the way the game was played or a major incident that altered the football landscape forever. A few obvious ones but I'll start off with a fairly whimsical one(if no one's arsed I'll add more later ) :

The Cruyff turn.

Rene higuita
His mental scorpion kick 😆

Brilliant -hadn't thought of that.

I'm not going to add the Roeder shuffle as it wasn't quite as, erm...global!

I'll go for 3 points for a win.

Kev's Liverpool domination in the 70's and 80's particularly with very small squads.

I believe that one season they won it only using 14 players.

You couldn't imagine that these days.

Cloughie taking forest to win European cup
Domination of Liverpool in the 70s and 80s

I remain convinced after that season we got pipped at the post, Fergie changed his footballing style and built attack orientated sides from that point on - Influenced by us. Call me deluded but I think its true.

Billionaires becoming interested in football. Chelsea then the Sheik in Manchester.
