Ever had one of those sublime Saturday's that will stick in your mind for ages? I met up with pals at a pub in Lytham to watch what the build-up was describing as 'the match of the season'. My team Manchester United were playing Premiership title contender rivals and local derby team Manchester City at Old Trafford. The game trundled on and it looked like finishing at a 1-1 draw. And then came a wonder goal from Wayne Rooney which was one of those rare moments in football when you witness audacious and technical brilliance. Even sweeter when it is delivered from the number 10 in your team. If you have not watched it already, search it out on You Tube and you will see one of the greatest goals of all time. Certainly the greatest goal scored by Englishman, and certainly the greatest goal scored at Old Trafford. The unpalatable truth is that United didn't play well up to this point and City were looking good for the win. Wayne Rooney by his standards, is having a 'mare of a season and was pretty poor in this game. And then he scored a goal that will make him smile at the memory long into his golden years. It will certainly stay in the memories of all United fans and I daresay in the minds of the neutrals who would be hard pressed not to acknowledge a sensational moment in football. They say form is temporary but class is forever. Wayne Rooney is world class and he plays for Manchester United. Oh happy day...
