Rooney- sidefoot, tbh, used to be shoulder-dipping flatfoot cunt
Van Nistelrooy- opens body, curls into corner
Henry- pushes low with instep
Hasselbaink- sweet spot volley

It's spelled 'Keano'

Bergkamp- irrelevant how he finishes, it's about the first touch

Messi - the scoop-over an advancing keeper

Thudd - the impossibly clean long-range strike that flies perfectly true

Iniesta - La Croqueta

Zidane - the headbutt

two of these are wrong

VP tends to go bottom corner, rarely ever roof of net
bale's signature move is the open-play blast from 25 yards with basically no backlift and the merest hint of inswing

Alan Shearer: absolutely cunt it with head or foot, usually head

Matty Taylor: anything less than 45 yards is for weaklings

Kevin Muscat: the two-footed obliterator

Thudd - the impossibly clean long-range strike that flies perfectly true

his shooting style, 'popping' the ball with no apparent leg follow-through and creating back spin or no spin at all is sui generis as far as I can tell

it even has its own name, the yomp. nobody else yomps.

ah good to know. agreed, one true yomper

anonanon, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 22:08 (twelve years ago)

I like his style of yomping

Yeah the 3 goals he's ever scored really follow a pattern.

Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Thursday, 2 May 2013 23:21 (twelve years ago)
