40 Years On: How Southampton won the FA Cup (Round 6)

[@SMSJSC]

Nothing illegal about it. It was knocked into the air and hit on the volley - like he said. It did resemble slightly the famous 'donkey kick' of Ernie Hunt and Willie Carr's volley in 1970 for Coventry. That particular goal was allowed to stand but the FL/FA outlawed the action thereafter. But in this case, Osgood 'lifted' the ball with one foot. Perfectly good goal.

Absolutely love that goal.

[@benbeck1]

it was an illegal goal, it should have been ruled out.

[@pachma405]

@@benbeck1 Why?

[@elizabethmcleod246]

I met the team in Barbados.

[@olliebcafc]

i support bradford. might have been because the law was different back then but struggling to see a reason why it should have counted

[@GlennBaldwin75]

now that is illegal

[@SteamPig]

By cheating at Bradford. Illegal goal was allowed.

[@andybutler1207]

Cheating buggers!!

Definitely illegal ball didn’t go forward or travel a circumference they got lucky.
