FOR A CERTAIN generation, Marco van Basten was the player everyone wanted to be.
27 years ago, the Dutch destroyer made Euro 88 his own, scoring five goals on his way to helping the Netherlands claim the European Championships in West Germany.
In the final, Van Basten helped his side revenge a 1-0 defeat the the Soviet Union in the group stages with this stunning strike in the final.
The word golazo is bandied about an awful lot these days, but this volley absolutely deserves it.
“THAT” point against limerick though ………in his prime he was a beast of a full back .
@conex: one of the best scores of all time. Barry Foleys at the end to win it wasn’t bad either
