Derby away, man. Who the f*** just blasts it straight at the keeper from 30 yards out? :lol:

 

Fucked up the way he smacked that. One of my favourite ever NUFC games as well.

 

Also very fond of the one he hit against Liverpool in the FA Cup (03/04). Through everybody and everything. Dudek would have died if he tried to save it.

Aye his range of free-kicks was amazing. Normally with a set-piece specialist you know what you get, but he could place them around the wall (Bolton away first season, Blackburn home second season), curl them top corner (Man U), smash them (Derby, Southampton, Liverpool in the cup). Superb.

Robert on the left wing, Solano on the right, Big Al and Bellamy up top

We played some cracking football under Sir Bobby  :rose:

 

Dyer and Speed in the middle as well!

 

Robert was absolutely magic and is the best left winger I've seen at NUFC! Ginola was a lot more skilful but Robert produced a hell of a lot more!

I loved Robert's corners, they were either ridiculously good or ridiculously bad :lol:

 

With the likes of Speed and Shearer on the pitch when the corners came off they were pretty much guaranteed to be a goal. Absolutely hammered them in so when you had players so good in the air it was a perfect match.

Putting pace on corners and crosses is what we miss now.  Far easier to put a header away when you don't need to put much power into it.

I didn't make that one!

 

Edit: oh Robert's, yeah I did

 

I'm sure West Ham is missing. ;)

 

The one where he dinks it over the keeper, hits the post and follows it in.

Robert's range of free kicks were insane like said before me - he could curl them with precision, smack it with precision or do that run-up and just smash the hell out of it. He absolutely understood whipping the ball in with pace via cross, corner or strike into danger areas b/c with the pace he could get on the ball - it could go anywhere. Brilliant player man. That Arsenal away match at Highbury :love:

The double vs Spurs :yao: Insane.

 

And he gave both the crosses for Shearer's brace that day too, I think. Fantasy Football dream.

 

His second goal in that game is arguably my favourite NUFC goal of all time.

 

Used to sit not far away from where he hit it from, never seen such movement on the ball before/after.
