Brilliant goal.

As an aside, why does all 1990s footage look like it was recorded in the 1890s?!

You've gotten used to super duper HD as the norm instead of old fashioned SD I'd guess.

He scored a similar one later that year on opening day vs QPR which left Tony Gubba in an orgasm. "Staunton.... OH, STAUNTON! He doesn't score simple goals does he, Steve Stsunton? Everyone's a blinder!"

Remember it well, watched it in a Dublin pub with some Yanited fans and for a few brief minutes thought we really would win the league.

I watched it in a pub here in town with a Manc supporting mate.  Everyone in there were plastics, the noise I made when that went in did me proud.

I was at my schoolfriend's 8th birthday party, worrying all afternoon about the score. Vaguely remember RTE sports news showing the goals briefly and I felt so relieved that we hadn't lost.

I watched this goal in a pub after a parachute jump I was due to take part in at Halfpenny Green Airport was cancelled due to weather conditions (too much wind I believe). What a shot! What a goal!

The sound the ball makes as it hits the back stick is a thing of beauty.

A goal so wonderful it perfectly balances out the disgraceful way he treated us at the end of his contract.

Great goal.

Also remember one he scored at VP in 1997 v Sheff Weds from about 40 yards out. Not sure why it's changed but you just don't see strikes like that in football anymore.

It's a cliche but Staunton really did have a wand of a left foot.
