KINKY SCORES THAT WONDER GOAL

,

...Those of you who were at the match will still be savouring like me the goal by Georgi Kinkladze which was without doubt the best I have ever witnessed in my long career.

I will never forget the way he weaved his way past the Southampton defenders before calmly waiting for the goalkeeper to commit himself and then chipping the ball into the net. That goal was first class, and I cannot stress too strongly the importance of that goal to the club. ALAN BALL WRITING IN THE CITY PROGRAMME 6TH APRIL 1996
