The calendar showed October 3, 1970, when the Coventry welcomed her Everton in a match for the first division of England. The final 3-1 in favor of the home team may not be a historic result, but the match is remembered for… kick ass!
The “sky blues” won a free kick just outside the area of the “candies” and executed it in at least a futuristic way: The Willie Carr wedged the ball between his legs and released it into the air, with Ernie Hunt to catch an incredible volley and nail it in the opponent’s net!
This phase produced Hunt first BBC award for the goal of the season, which was established that season, with the two teammates trying several times over the next few months to repeat the feat, without success.
Finally, at the end of the season the regulations changed and the use of both feet at the same time in set-pieces was bannedkicking the ass into eternity!
