Blurred by the haze of analogue stripes across the screen comes the return of the Mystery Goal.

Aided by the delicate finesse of my friends, once again a famous goal from the recent past is affectionately recreated, but in order to make it more of a challenge the skill level is embarrassingly lower. That’s the only reason.

A classic goal butchered with love and that in no way has any relation to tonight’s game at Wembley.

It’s back. Impress your mates with your knowledge of famous goals with ThreeMatchBan’s very own half arsed attempts at recreating the special strikes from the recent past, set against an urban background.

To add to this, once again the completely unique and exclusive prize of ThreeMatchBan kudos is on offer to anyone who knows the answer and earn the right to hold their head high in everyday society.

Please ignore the massive clue in the top right hand corner.

Like Big Brother, Peter Mandleson or genital warts, it’s back whether you like it or not and this week another classic goal has affectionately, but lazily been recreated in an urban environment.

Pay special attention to the close ball control displayed by ThreeMatchBan’s very own tall, blonde answer to our goal scoring hero, as he deceives the mass of defenders and jinxes past an energetic keeper, reminiscent in my mind of John Lukic at his peak.

As ever, the ultimate prize of football kudos is on offer to anyone who knows their stuff.

Sometimes I feel like I’m being punished by the gods for my love of football, as over the past few weeks the only sporting relief has come from The Ashes, Wimbledon and The Open, which insist on hogging as much air time on the BBC as possible and dragging out the summer for an inordinate amount of time, before the new seasons starts.

I’m not the only one who feels this way though, as I have spent much of my weekend over the park with friends desperately trying to recreate the excitement that a Saturday normally brings during the football season.

Falling desperately short of our target due to lack of talent, but by no means lack of effort, we instead decided to reproduce our favourite goals and bask in our heroes reflected glory.
