An iconic football moment is captured in this classic book cover poster.

This version depicts what many believe to be the greatest FA Cup Final goal of all time. It is the wonderful individual effort by Ricky Villa for Spurs against Man City in the 1981 FA Cup Final Replay. The goal was the winner in a fantastic game which ended 3-2 to the Lilywhites and placed the Argentinian into Tottenham folklore and legend. The original match finished 1–1 after extra-time. Tommy Hutchison opened the scoring for City in the 30th minute, but scored an own-goal in the 79th minute, deflecting Glenn Hoddle’s free kick into his own net to bring Spurs level. The replay took place five days later and Ricky Villa opened the scoring for Spurs in the eighth minute. Steve MacKenzie equalised for City three minutes later with an outstanding long range volley. A Kevin Reeves penalty five minutes into the second half put City ahead, before Garth Crooks brought Spurs level again in the 70th minute after a delightful chipped pass from Glenn Hoddle. Then, in the 76th minute, Tony Galvin passed to Villa 30 yards from City's goal, and the Argentinian proceeded to skip past four defenders before slotting the ball past City goalkeeper Joe Corrigan.

The title of the book “What a fantastic run… he’s scored!” is taken from the immortal commentary by John Motson for the BBC.
