I’ve been obsessed with a single goal for 28 years.
To my mind, it is the greatest goal ever scored in the history of football. I am convinced that if it weren’t for the net or the walls of the stadium, the strike was so pure that the ball would still be moving today.
Now, 28 years later, I’ve set out to calculate exactly where that ball would be.
