Question 1 of 10
1. June 1988, Euro final, and Van Tiggelen broke up the attack and surged forward passing to Muhren who looped over a deep cross. I took one outrageous kick and sent it into the corner past Dasayev. Who am I? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. It was the 3rd place play off in the World Cup of 1978. I received the ball out on the right. I probably should've crossed it but I decided to have a go and beat Dino Zoff at the far post. Who am I? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. August 1993, and a few games into the premiership. A long ball played forward was knocked down to me by Ian Dowie. It was slightly behind me so I flicked it back over my head, over the head of Venison, around Howey and, then stroked it past Hooper. Who am I? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. June 1966 and the Wembley crowd were chanting for more goals, so I took up the ball in midfield, dropped my shoulder to throw off a challenge and, unleashed a rocket from 30 yards past the Mexican keeper. Who am I? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. An FA Cup tie in 1994 against the Dons. Denis pumped a long ball into the box which was headed clear, and straight to me. I took one touch to set it up then let fly with a volley that screamed past Hans Segars. Who am I? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Time was running out. The Nou Camp was worried, and ghostly silent. Frank hit a long ball forward to the edge of the box. As I had my back to goal, I had only one option. I chested it into the air to set up an overhead kick which I executed to perfection past Canizares. Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. It was extra time and we could not break down their defence. The South American's were holding their own in this tough World Cup 2nd round match. Robert put in a hopeful cross which young David headed into my path. I didn't need a touch. I put a low volley past Jose Luis and the game was ours. Who am I? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. The opening game of the Wordl Cup, June 2006. What a privelege! Bastian rolled a free kick to me, I let it run across my path before I belted it from 35 yards. Top corner, what a goal. Who am I? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. It was November 1999, the Barca defence cleared it, but only to the edge of the box. The ball bounced and, Heinrich headed up into the air. I don't know why but I attempted a bicycle kick from fully 25 yards out. Would you believe it went in. Who am I? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. The world was watching us, the opening game of the 1990 World Cup. We were in the mood for an upset. They were not playing well and when the opportunity came, I leapt higher than probably any footballer ever did. I headed it down, Pumpido made a mess, and it went in. Hint
