Say what you will about John Arne Riise’s prowess as a well-rounded left back but when the man hit a ball, it stayed hit.
Goalkeepers knew they were screwed when they saw the fiery head of Riise arrive on the scene and pull back his left boot… And he’s still doing it just that all these years later.
A textbook Riise free kick last night ensured that current side APOEL Nicosia would raise the Cyprus Cup last and the goal will bring Liverpool fans back to the days when the Norwegian was testing the strength of goal nets in the Premier League with his thunderbolts.

For those of you who somehow forgot just how powerful a Riise strike is, enjoy some of his greatest goals, ye lucky devils.
