Must be all that fresh Treherbert mountain air percolating the the consciousness of the
inhabitants of the valley below!
I once saw John Charles score from the centre circle, that was a bit of a fluke (not) too!
I didn't say it was a fluke, I said it was a goal that was on for a player like Gabbiadini when the ball bounced the way it did if my memory is correct.

Just watched the goal again and my memory does serve me correct, it was about thirty five yards out, Alexander was about five or six yards off his line and the ball bounced perfectly for a player with very good technique - a fine goal, but not the wonder strike it's being described as in this thread.
