Sydney Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Someone in the "which schools team" thread was talking about trying to copy the Cruyff turn just after he'd first done it on TV. What else did you try to copy? I remember seeing people try: David Platt volley in 90 World Cup Shirt tucked in at the front, out at the back a la JC Panenko-style penalties Higuita scorpion kicks Taping outside socks at top and bottom Kenny Dalglish goal celebrations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done it many times the highlight though was in the casino after winning a big hand On a serious note though.... Roger Milla's corner flag celebration Klinsman's dive Hate to say it but I remember Cadette(I think) scoring a volley from a free kick that was flicked up by another Celtic player. Absolute belter. Was always trying to do that in the park when younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never counted unless it came off the underside in these days at the Top Field! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.Wright Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 The Celtic free kick, as mentioned, although I thought it was di canio? The boy that takes free kick, about 19 yards out, does nothing other than flick it vertically up to Paulo who smashes the volley straight in. Tremendous. Never managed it either but I blame the quality of the flick up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davie1980 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I once tracked back 40 yards to score an own goal in the style of van bastens famous european championship volley. I was flat out sprinting back as someone on the opposition team floated a ball over the top to the lad i was tracking. i leapt athletically and caught the volley perfectly, as well as i've ever connected with a ball and smashed it into the roof of my own net. It was of course an attempted clearance. but still to this day stands as the most impressive goal i've ever scored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 JC......every time. Got the T-shirt as well....my cup final t-shirt. (and yes...i know it needs ironed) Love that t-shirt! Personally, I've only ever had just about enough skill to look like Petric getting back to his own half after a Hearts corner but last week watched my son pull off a pretty decent version of Gazza's Euro '96 goal v Scotland, albeit with the kid in the Hendrie role quite a bit shorter and more clueless and the goalie was in two minds whether to stand his ground or come from the ball*. No dentist's chair, though. Not really appropriate at the primary school level! * - terrible attempt to shoehorn in a "two minds" gag. My apologies.

avhudtheteeshirt Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Remember myself emulating the great save from Gordon Banks from a Pele header during a game of crossy in the Meadows.

PsychocAndy Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Andy Gray diving header against Fortuna Sittard (?) in the Uefa cup. He must have been about a foot of the ground and there were 2 or 3 defenders and the goalie trying to kick it away and Gray dives in and scores. Never done it on a football pitch but done it plenty of times coming home from the pub. 27th second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
