    And being addicted to drugs throughout his career meaning he shouldn't really have been allowed on a football pitch.

    I used to play 5 a side in a team which used to partake in drugs 10 minutes before turning up. Honestly, we played like the harlam globetrotters.

    Good point. Shiltons fault. Should've took man and ball.

    The Ref was as much to blame. Asif he thought a 5 foot 5 midget would beat Shilton to the ball with his head.

    Just checked the video of the goal and only 2 players chased after the referee to say it was handball, can't really make them out but think one of them was Steve Hodge. But on the flip side of that the 2nd goal he scored in that game was just sublime

    Parky would've played him wingback.

    Evidently he threatened to give up football altogether when the Argentine government stopped his agreed transfer to Sunderland when he was a teenager. What a lucky escape.

    Steve Hodge with the worst clearance ever and Shilton with the poorest jump.

    Parky would have made him an 89th minute sub for Flanagan

    Shilton barely bothered tbh.

    I was at Bolton when Vic Halom came flying in for a diving header at the goal in front of the Sunderland supporters ...

    ... he was never going to make it so did a 'Superman' and punched the ball into the roof of the net.

    He jumped up grinning, bowed to us and turned to apologise to the referee. However the ref was running back to the centre circle signaling a goal and having none of it <laugh>

    man and ball = cheating as i've already said that really wasn't done in them days. no drugs checks in those days, ill go so far as to say his enhanced performances were drug related.

    No chance of him getting on ahead of Power.

    He didn't need to do that imo.

    If Shilton intended to go for the ball he should've easily claimed it ...

    ... or stayed on his line and let it drop softly into his hands.

    Ahh Vic Halom, described by London papers at the time of his transfer to Sunderland as a very average player at best, imo no player has ever joined the club and transformed it overnight as much as Vic did , it coincided with moving Watson back into defence and Vic complimented Hughes and Teuart perfectly, happy days.
    Wonder what effect Maradonna would have had on us.
