It’s 36 years since pensioner Roger Milla scored twice to send Cameroon through to the second round of Italia 90.
Features a glorious up and under for the first, and some fast feet for the second.
The oldest swinger in town.

A spectacular shitpinger from Socrates vs USSR.
The good Doctor has a look up, sees the great Rinat Dasayev in net, and says:
“Get a whiff of this one, pal...”

It’s Alan Hansen’s birthday. So here he is striding magnificently out of defence at Carrow Road in 1980.
Look at that surface. Like playing on a snooker table.

12 years ago today Robin Van Persie took to the air against Spain.
By the time he’d landed, he’d scored one of the great World Cup goals...

It’s 24 years since this Jared Borgetti brilliance vs Italy.
Facing the wrong way, with the mighty Maldini and Buffon behind him, he’s got absolutely no business scoring from there.
Sensational stuff.

On Darius Vassell’s birthday, a reminder of when he arrived for talks with Ankaragucu (he’d not even signed yet)… and thousands of Ultras were awaiting him at the airport.
Crikey. His arsehole must have backfired like an old Vauxhall Vectra.

It’s 40 years since Josimar got the ball, saw Careca in the box hoping for a cross, and said:
“You must be joking, old son. I’m having a dig from here...”

It’s Pat Jennings’ birthday today. You remember him.
Legendary keeper. Northern Ireland, Spurs and Arsenal.
But even The Big Man himself couldn’t stop Tony the Tiger…

It’s David Narey’s birthday today, so here he is unleashing a ripsnorter into the roof of the net vs Brazil in 1982.
LEATHERED.
