He was in amazing form that tournament. Curse Hoddle for not taking him to France in 98.For sure, but I think the most I ever screamed for joy at a single goal was against Scotland in 1996. I was in the Standard at Blackhorse Road in Walthamstow, knew the landlord and he had a dozen of the regulars in to watch and we went mental. Out the doors into the traffic dancing and jumping about, such a great memory.
If I had to show someone one clip to describe him, how talented but how much of a showman he was as a player, it's that. Just the memory of seeing that makes me grin, can't imagine the rush he had wheeling away as it hit the net.
