EVER MISSED A GOAL, HOWARD DID
Staunch Spireite Howard Borrell recently holidayed in
Stood with the local fans Howard was surprised to find, 3 minutes before kick off,
2 flags started to unfurl. One stretched the full length of one side of the ground and the other the full width of one end. Obviously when when you're in the middle of a packed ground you just have to go with the flow and wait for the flag to move.
The game had kicked off when the flag moved on and blinking from the bright sunlight Howard rapidly realised he'd missed something special. It seems Brazilian striker Nei scored one of the quickest goals in UEFA Cup history when his lob after 18 seconds caught everyone unaware - and two sides of the ground were underneath giant flags and missed the wonder strike !
Have you any unusual reasons for missing a goal ?
