I think it may have even been when he pushed forward a bit more than usual but I could have got that wrong. I also remember Shearer scoring there from a free kick from hardly any distance in the penalty area with all our players on the goal line. Could have even been the same game.
I was there. Shearer scored from a free kick for a back pass. First attempt was blocked but ref said take it again as wall had moved before the kick. He scored from the 2nd attempt. I reckon they would have kept going until he scored.
