John Arne Riise thunderbastard free kick

That sketch Alan Partridge does was made for this goal. Every sound byte can be applied to this strike.

“Liquid football.”

“Sh*t! Did you see that!?”

“He’s got a foot like a traction engine.”

“Boof! Eat my goal.”

Basically John Arne Riise ran up and hit the ball like he was trying to send it through the goal, through the stadium and into space on a top secret NASA mission. Some say the ball is still travelling.

Riise could hit them mind, and they didn’t often quit when they got struck by the hammer of his left foot. What a player, what a left-back.
