Good times I remember in the 'tournament' or whatever it was Roberto Carlos scores a goal with his left foot with outside curl, me and my mates spent ages trying to replicate it but A. None of us were left footed and B. We were all 13 yr old weaklings so could only rarely get the power required 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to make us stand in goal and from just behind the half way line used to rifle it in top corner. And when we did get our hands on it a trip to A+E we went. This ball brings back bad memories . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted April 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2023 I cant find a picture of it, but Select had a 80s version of the Brilliant Super which I had a perfect free-kick for. You could really clearing in the woods that one hard and get a missile trajectory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obscure fact, the first premier League goal scored using that ball was by the late Peter whittingham in our 3-0 win against Portsmouth at villa park We were the early kick off this first time the ball was used, had a season ticket at the time Edited April 11, 2023 by Jimzk5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the ball make that much of a difference? I don't know what the exact difference is but the ones used in the Premier League are rock solid, you wouldn't want to head one of them. It's no wonder they want to limit heading in training these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were sat low in the Trinity by the corner with the Holte and basically saw sod all. It was like all the action in the game happened at exactly the wrong angle to see anything. I was wearing the white Hummel shirt we had, and to get the day off a great start had a burger from a van on the way to Villa Park, squirted some tomato sauce on it and ended up with sauce completely missing the burger and hitting my shirt perfectly dead centre. So I had to wear a hoodie over it anyway. I may as well have not bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember buying that shirt on the day it was released for £25 in sports direct, so cheap considering the costs now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
