Not to push any Englishman's buttons, but Maradona's goal in Mexico '82 when he ran the length of the field with the ball never more than a foot away, dancing through the English midlfield and then defense before sliding it past the goalkeeper. Of course, he'd ruin his career an hour later, but that goal was pure joy.
Come to think of it - Geoff Hurst's lightning bolt in the '66 final. Surely across. π
The goal you're talking about was in Mexico '86.
And an hour later he did nothing.............if you're referring to the Hand Of God, he scored it before the other fantastic goal.

Originally posted by latex bishopWell, he was Irish by blood, Scottish by birth, actually. But then we tend to get on well- a lot of shared history over the last couple of millennia. However, I think it's safe to say the cheers went up from Dublin to Dundee, and from Glasgow to Galway Bay. Same as they did when Scotland won in Wembley in 1967, I suppose.
