Shooting directly from kickoff


That was the first time I've seen a City side side shoot directly from the kick off with the new rules in place and we were unlucky not to score last night.

Yes, it was Brighton and he almost scored. He got a hat trick on his debut against Chesterfield in a 4-3 win on what was our first ever Friday night game. Still my favourite ever city player even though he only spent one season with us.

The Adrian Alston shot against Brighton was in a featured match on Match of the Day. I've tried for years to find it but no luck. I'm sure there's someone out there a bit more techy able than me who can locate it. Would love to see it again.
