You're just going past bodies as they say.

Yeah, because what happens is, I remember, if you speak to anyone who's scored a free kick, I remember every free kick I've scored because you consciously think, I've put the ball down, I want to bend it over the wall into the corner.

You consciously think about doing it before you do it.

So when you do it, you remember it because you thought about it.

When you score a goal by dribbling, you're not thinking about what you're doing.

You can't.

Because if I think I want to go left and you go left, I've got to go right.

So you're just instinctively doing it.

So when you actually finish and you do whatever you do, you don't really remember what you're doing.

So when I look at it, it looks great.

But in terms of the way it felt, it really just felt as if you're just going, and then all of a sudden the goal was there.

So, you know, it just looked better than it felt.

You were so stylish, though.

Because of the shorts, though.

But it was so funny about that.

I mean, the Forest game, I mean, those Forest games were unbelievable.

Honestly, I remember the Forest game.

I remember Piercy just like him.

And see, my man had a bit of an issue, didn't he?

I remember.
