Manchester United Classic Goals#4

Here is one that I will never forget! FA Cup final vs. Liverpool in 1996. There are 85 very intense and hectic minutes played at this point; Cantona first on the ball after a bad punch from David James, and with a touch of brilliance and an excellent composure, Eric the King hammered the ball in the net from the edge of the penalty box. This victory secured United´s second double in three seasons. Hail the King:


The most memorable for me personally about this particular goal, is that my brother, who is a die hard Liverpool fan, stormed out of the house, got into our fathers car and disappeared in haze down the street with a sound of thunder. For the way the match had been played until that moment, it was quite obvious that there only would take a single goal to win it... - as it indeed turned out to be in the end :-)

  1. Remember this day like it was yesterday... Drove at 30 km/h most of the ride, angry, bitter and confused... Hate those games, and we have at least two coming up soon...
