I’ve defo seen it before, some player used to do it in the 80s, but I don’t know if it was since outlawed. It made such a cultural splash that the seminal tv series The Manageress, starring the delectable Cherie Lunghi (still would), featured a player who did it for her side.

The **** you remember eh?

According to google they're still legal but I have to agree I haven't seen one for ages. They're probably a bit like that scorpion kick thingy the Columbia keeper did. Brilliant if they come off but you look a bit of a nob if they don't.

Well, some like yourself will be happy as accuracy means you can't wriggle out of things by saying that what you wrote wasn't what you actually meant and people haven't understood you when you are proved wrong.

Hardly my fault that you and Castro don't read the posts in the manner they were intended.

And if either of you ****ers want to continue this nonsense, do it by PM, it's really boring for everyone else.

You butted in on the thread trying to be clever. Just because you quite literally can't express yourself clearly don't get abusive to others.
Still haven't got over your **** up claiming it was a trained sniper and not a routinely armed police officer whilst we are on tbe subject on not reading posts properly, have you?
