I imagine it was in the papers at the time but I've never seen a shot of him hitting the chip that finished off the move. Beautiful.

Came across it randomly when looking for pictures of his boots (Nike have re-released the Nike Tiempo 1994's and wanted to compare).
 
I scored a very similar one on Sunday, not quite as good as I didn't chip the keeper at the end, I passed it into the bottom corner early with my left peg. But the turn at the beginning was better than Eric's.

Also it was against quite shit players... in that respect it was also just like Eric's.
 
The keeper was shit in that game.

We won 5-0 I think, should have saved 2 or 3 of em.
 
The goal was more about the pose afterwards than the goal itself.
 
it is wildly overrated, but only out of a desire to find a goal that encapsulated eric more than any other cos most of his important ones were a bit shit...I always preferred this one, it was in a force 10 gail as well...



The one against Wimbledon was also better

Perfection........even if the Kraut commentary isnt!
