We all remember it.
Robert Pires set to fire a penalty past David James when he inexplicably attempts to roll it to an onrushing Thierry Henry.
Cue pissed-off Man City players and a decade of laughter.
Well Korean side Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors thought they’d give it a go this weekend and they absolutely nailed it.
This time, Leonardo played Pires and Kaio played Henry but, rather than make fools of themselves, they combine to fire the ball past the Pohang keeper to give Jeonbuk the 1-0 victory.
This article, however, would be incomplete if we didn’t pay tribute to the men who put this crazy idea into every penalty taker’s head.
Ladies and gentleman, Johan Cruyff and Jesper Olsen!
