Welcome back to The Rest Is Football with Alishera, Michael Richardson, me, Gary Lineker.
We're discussing the biggest goals ever scored.
What about ones in games that you've played in, but you didn't score yourself?
It can either be a teammate or...
Or someone from the opposition.
Whilst you two think mine's easy and you'll probably know what it was.
I watched a certain Diego Armando Maradona march from the halfway line in 1986.
Yes, 1986, Michael, way before you were born.
And it was a thing of brilliance.
If it had been against anybody else, I would have been up on my feet.
I was still up on my feet, but I was a bit disappointed.
But felt I ought to applaud, really.
But, you know, he got it on the halfway line.
He did that amazing little turn.
The pitch was bumpy, horrible, almost unplayable.
I think he went past Butcher about three times.
He left Peter Reid trailing in his wake as he went.
Now, Fennec had had a yellow card already because Fenn was, let's say, an old school defender.
