Would be great for more to come from free kicks.

Did'nt Merson get one in that game when we sent Coventry down?
Gardner got a few from free-kicks but they always seemed to be daisy-cutters rather than top-corner porn.
Did Tommy Hitz ever net a free kick? I'd be surprised if he didn't given his aptitude. Stan Staunton must have had 1-2 over the years for us. Does a corner count?
Two. Scored free-kicks in consecutive league games against Spurs (Four-one and you fucked it up) and a winner against West Ham.
