I remember a fair few of those keepers! Interesting that keepers nowadays use more of a side technique when kicking out of their hands too.

Being brought up on late 80's English football this is what I thought everyone did. I was absolutely blown away - and I remember it vividly - watching a full match on TV involving Red Star Belgrade where their defence and midfield spent minute after minute passing the ball to each other. Up until then I don't think I'd seen a passage of football with 20 or 30 passes without someone either lumping it up to the edge of the box or committing a tackle that today would get you a short prison sentence.

The first keeper I remember doing the side kick was Pepe Reina when he joined Liverpool. There may have been others before but he launched it so long with that technique, it felt like a brand new game changer.

Great strike:

Filthy that!

The single most beautiful (elegant) footballer in my lifetime.

Also just ever.

Imo the best team goal ever scored

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

I think the commentary makes this goal slightly better than it was but I never tire of watching this goal from Kaka, just pure poetic genius and skill and love the commentary

It's hard to say what is the best ever but It's up there, as is this against a very good Liverpool side at the time.

This doesn't really count as football but also it does, and I think this needs to be introduced at HT in the PL.
