For long range missiles some of the best/favourites I can think are Ferguson v Hearts 86, Kopel v Anderlecht, McKinnon v Hearts Tynecastle 97, Bannon screamer Tannadice v Celtic around 84-85, Luggy a similar peach early 80s v Rangers, Hannah v Hibs around 2000, Johnny Russel v Ddee, Brebner v Hearts last min.

Mellon does Shanks a dis-service. Lawr didn't have a practice swing first. He struck it first time.
