    Charlie Adam scored from the half-way line ... and against Chelsea not Wimbledon

    Gascoigne's free-kick against the Goons in the FA Cup semi was better ...and his goal against the Scots was more important ...

    The real reason that Beckham is such an icon is the PR side ... and no hint of jealousy or bitterness on my part - he certainly made the best of his opportunities <ok>

    It's not really a bite mate. Drinkwater did win a Prem title, and some daft ****s paid 40m for him.

    Scored a cracker in the 1-1 draw celebration game at Chelsea - last game of our title winning season ... perhaps that's why they paid so much <whistle>

    Probably not such a “star”, no. Still a great player though, with the class to change a game.

    If anything, his “star quality” probably means he’s often underestimated as a football player, because a lot of people can’t see past the looks, the pop star wife, and the adverts for Nivea.

    ... that could be said of many players in many teams ... but Drinkwater's goal was the last in a title winning season for the ultimate underdogs .. so I suspect quite a few fans of other teams will remember it <ok>

    He would have ended up playing for Man Utd, Real Madrid and England mate. His talent on the pitch, and his hard work, is the reason for that.

    The man had possibly the best right foot in football in the last 30 years.

    Definately not in the same class as Zizou, Messi and Ronaldo overall though.

    It certainly will by me. I watched that in the pub, then went next door to the bookies to discover I’d won £770 from my lucky 15 on the nags. Won’t forget that weekend in a hurry (well, bits of it are in fact a blur, but you get the idea)

    Will they ****, take the blinkers of.

    Beckhams moments were years ago, and eveyone remembers them.

    In a few years time, people remember that Lesta won the title, but that's all they'll remember about it
