'That was Gazza all over, and a brilliant day' - Anderton on England v Scotland, Euro 96

Fans of a certain age will know the goal inside-out as Gazza lifts the ball over Scottish defender Colin Hendry before dispatching a volley on the full past Andy Goram, his team-mate at the time at Glasgow Rangers. The goal was pure genius, the ‘dentist chair’ celebration that followed iconic. England won 2-0 and were on their way...

It’s less known, however, that two Spurs players combined to send Gazza clear on goal.
