But he kicked the ball as banks thru it in air to kick it, not bounce it! Goal stood I think.

Goal was disallowed. England went on to win the game 1-0.

From memory I think he headed it out of Banks' hand then scored with his foot.

Just seen someone put up a you tube thing, sorry not trying to be a smart ar*e but I was watching it on the telly at the time, the home internationals were some of the very few matches shown live back then apart from FA Cup final.

Real class from Besty, Banks was furious!
