Long range goals: Is shooting from outside the box a dying art in football?
BBC Sport explores the history of long-range goals in the Premier League and how data and tactics are shaping how often they're scored.www.bbc.co.uk
Yes, but the balls were made of actual lead back then. Wouldn’t reach the goal from 20 yards.
Or Stevie Hunt to name another or Barry Powell!Didn't Stop Bobby Charlton Scoring Screamers from about 30 yards for England ect.

Fake news. International games were played with those floater balls.
Which one died Gary or Phil?To Me... To You... Football.
Didn't need to, slightest mistake by an opponent and he was on it in a flash.He was always the nearest player to the goal after the keeper and last defender. The word "poacher" should have been invented just for him.It’s a sad art of the modern robotic game.
Having said that I don’t remember Jimmy Greaves,one of the greatest ever scoring from outside the box.
Stevie G scored some absolute belters in his timeAnother reason football was better in the past. Give me a 30 yard thunderbastard over any amount tiki taka walked in bullshit any day of the week.
Yes crap pitches ,long ball football and skilful players being kicked all over the pitch, bring back Nat Lofthouse to challenge keepers.Another reason football was better in the past. Give me a 30 yard thunderbastard over any amount tiki taka walked in bullshit any day of the week.
I'm talking more 90s and 2000s, i don't know who Nat Lofthouse is but presumably he's prehistoric.Yes crap pitches ,long ball football and skilful players being kicked all over the pitch, bring back Nat Lofthouse to challenge keepers.

Footballers now are generally shite. They can run fast but rarely do because they're ordered to check, pass sideways and backwards bollocks. Why use two passes when 10 will do ?Another reason football was better in the past. Give me a 30 yard thunderbastard over any amount tiki taka walked in bullshit any day of the week.

Where are the modern day le Tissiers or Gascoignes ?
Jack Grealish is the most exciting flair player we have in the English game and with the greatest respect to him he's not in the same league, probably because he's been hammered not to do anything that excites the crowd. Modern football is rubbish . Everyone knows it.
