Paddy McCourt, I think I love you.

It only took me seven years to get around to viewing discovering this wonderful Celtic goal from Shaun Maloney:

"And they mocked Alan Rough"

Christ, how did I miss those gaffes by Robinson and Carson first time round? The wonders of stumbling across random clips on YouTube:

Kris Commons's chip was sublime.

When you mix in some Maradona, a dash of Gemmill and a splash of le Tissier, you get . . .

. . . Golazo de Yohandry Orozco.

According to his wiki page , Orozco is only 5 ft 4 1⁄2 in. The bloke should be playing for Falkirk.
