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.
Thanks to many practise runs and shots that varied in accuracy, we eventually created our personal tribute to a classic goal, relying heavily on a goal celebration over an abundance of skill, but what goal is it? All suggestions are welcome.
To start with it’s a nice easy one, but check the website again soon for another recreation of a classic goal set in an urban environment.
