I have a sneaking feeling that most people out of a little North Eastern corner of England will be saying who right now.

But yes, wonderful hair and an amazing strike. I know he had a far bigger career, including managing Chelsea, but it is that strike for which he will be best remembered, RIP Leeds beating Jock.

so what was the background to this...he had false legs? was actually blind and used the sounds of other players medallions to guage their positions on the pitch?
Seriously... tell us about it.

Is he the one doing the Karate Kid impression?

He is the one in the stripey shirt scoring the FA cup winner for Sunderland against Leeds in 1973, Sunderland being a down and out second division side at the time, whereas Leeds were at the height of their powers in the Don Revie era.

Very sad indeed but a little OTT in the description Gibbo.

I don't think so.
OK so there's little artistry involved but it's the circumstance that counts.
How improbable was it that Stokoe's 'lowly' Sunderland would sink the mighty Leeds? The fact that the goal was scored at all qualifies it as the greatest.

In your opinion. Not that you're biased of course. Given those reasons you could say Lawrie Sanchez's goal against Liverpool was just as good.

What an insightful reply, well done. You have truly shown me the error of my ways in enjoying the game of football. I shall refrain from watching it in future. I owe you a debt of gratitude. Tosser

No, this was the greatest goal in history. About 3.40, Houchen's header

However 61 is no age to Die & lets not forget he died to this horrible killer that no one seems to have a cure for
