Favourite Football Moments part 1
It was the 2nd Round of the World Cup in Italia 1990 and England had played well but failed to score in normal time. A tight extra time period followed in which Belgium hit the post for the second time in the game. Penalties were very definitely on the cards when, in the last minute Gazza lobbed a perfectly weighted free kick into the box from around 40 yards out and David Platt slipped his marker and tucked a peach of a volley into the far corner of the net to send England through to the quarter finals. I was 9 years old at the time and I hadn't been allowed to stay up late to watch it so had got up early to watch it back on my VHS video player (remember those?). I remember rewinding it and playing it back time after time because it was just about the most amazing goal I had ever seen scored.
