Every Saturday night until a few years ago, this goal was always on at the start of Match Of The Day. My Dad who passed away in 2008 in goal for Spurs, it would always fill me with sadness and joy seeing him every week even though he wasn’t around. Some goal it was too !!.⚽️🧤🧤.
This Liam Brady goal reminds me so much of my ‘101 great goals’ video I had as a kid.
