A brilliant ball from the man Vidal Sassoon looks upon with scorn, envy and unbridled lust. And on a trajectory which is rarely seen heading into the back of the net.

This can’t possibly be true, can it?

1 – Andrea Pirlo is the 1st player to score from a direct free kick at the European Championships since Heinz vs Germany at Euro 2004. Wait
