David Hirst was a fantastic striker. Injuries prevented him from from posting big numbers in the top flight. Great finisher. Here he is scoring four for Wednesday against Hull in September 1990.

In October 1988 newly promoted Middlesbrough visited Coventry City in a league game. Boro won 4-3 with Bernie Slaven and David Speedie both getting fantastic hat tricks. Slaven's finishing is unreal. #CCFC #Boro #Middlesbrough #football

At the end of October 1986 Paul Goddard did this away to Watford in the League Cup in a 3-2 win. A few days later the Hammers sold him to Newcastle Utd for £485,000 and he ended their season as top scorer. and saving the Magpies from relegation. Mistake? #whfc #westham #football

Rivellino was one of Diego Maradona's inspirations when he was growing up. Here he is lamping one in for Brazil against hapless Zaire. #WorldCup #Brazil #football

Still one of favourite ever free kick routines. So simple and worked like a charm. Bulgaria v Peru, 1970 World Cup. #WorldCup #football

1970 World Cup Semi Final - West Germany v Italy was one of the best World Cup games of all time. Seven goals, five of them in extra time. Should it have been 4-4? Goal keeper Dino Zoff avoids a disaster of his own making. #WorldCup #football

Never mind mythology. Poland's Gorgon with a monster. #WorldCup #football

How good was John Barnes? Birmingham City v Watford, F.A. Cup, March 1984. Sublime skill. #watfordfc #WFC #football

Mark Walters was a fantastic footballer. Here's a brilliant goal he scored for Villa away in the UEFA Cup against Spartak Moscow in 1983. All his own work. #avfc #AstonVilla #football

A bonkers 1st Division game from 1982 as Stoke face Luton. 8 goals, 3 Stoke goalkeepers, a masterclass from Stein, Walsh and Chamberlain watched by only 17,000. #scfc #Stokecityfc #lutontown #lutontownfc #football

Ajax had some fantastic players in this 1982 version. Here's the great Johann Cruyff providing the lay off for the perfect counter attacking goal against Celtic in the European Cup. The Scots had the last laugh winning the tie in the 2nd leg. #celticfc #football

Flashback to the last day of the 81-82 season. Sheffield Wednesday score a last minute winner against Norwich City in a crucial promotion game. The winner was almost scored by a fan on the pitch! #SWFC #SheffieldWednesday #norwichcityfc #football

David Armstrong was a more than decent player with almost 600 league games for Middlesbrough and Southampton. He could strike a ball as well. Leeds v Southampton 1982. #SaintsFC #SouthamptonFC #football

Chelsea v Spurs, F.A Cup Quarter Final in 1982. Two high quality goals from Fillery and Hoddle. Spurs ran out 3-2 winners and went on to lift the cup for the 2nd season running. #thfc #Spurs #football

The back heeled finish isn't new. Bryan Robson in 1981 and Nigel Callaghan here in 1982. Graham Taylor's Second Division promotion side putting top flight West Ham out of the F.A. Cup. 1982. #WatfordFC #watford #football

First day of the 1981/82 season and an 18year old Ally McCoist makes his First Division debut as a substitute away at Ipswich. Fair to say he made a positive impact. @SunderlandAFC #safc #sunderland #sunderlandafc

The Baggies Bryan Robson scores a "ridiculous" goal against Liverpool at the Hawthorns in February 1981. Described superbly by the legendary Hugh Johns. #WBAFC #WBA #football

Horror tackle by Liverpool's Terry McDermott on West Brom's Garry Owen in a league game at Anfield in 1980. Just a yellow...... #LFC #WestBromwich #wba #football

GOLDEN memories from 1991. youtube.com/watch?v=C-liWcII…

Fair to say that Boavista's Mario Silva got hold of this one. 1999 Champions League. #football #championsleague #LigaPortugal
