David Ginola

So four days before beating Leicester, we'd reached the FA Cup semi-final after a 1-0 win at Barnsley.

And this is another game made famous by another famous goal, and it's by David Ginola.

Look, Martin, you love telling stories.

Can you tell the story of David Ginola's goal at Oakwell?

So, back then, people complain about the Wheel of Doom now in terms of going online to get your tickets.

But back then, I guess it was the Square of Doom or the Rectangle of Doom because you literally had to queue right around the ground to get tickets.

Is it six players? And then, you know, slides it beautifully into the bottom corner and sets up...

that semi-final clash so yeah fantastic goal by Schindler I only saw it later on because yeah I was I'd like to say on the pitch I was on a pitch I was warming up on a very funny pitch out in Mill Hill later saw it in action but was hearing the commentary even so you just go yeah radio commentators do a fantastic job because they they paint pictures using words um which is something i try and do as a playwright myself and to listen to that bit of commentary i was like this is a really special goal and then seeing it retrospectively yeah ginola scores a fantastic goal and that's that's what gets us to that semi-final right

If they've got the wealth to do it, he wants to do it, more importantly.

Would you think he'd want to do that? Well, look, this is like the subscribers well then knowing david as we do he'd probably just sit in the background anyway if he was his name wasn't involved i don't think present at games like is it into miami i suppose um but it needs something don't it these owners haven't worked and i know jim ratcliffe's only been there for two and a half years but it just doesn't work so far is it and we all know what the feeling around the club is about the glazers so I'd be open to anybody.

I think the biggest problem

you've got is the Glaziers will want a piece of the pie.

And as expected, they are very high on the good players.

Of course, their favorites like Ginola is, of course, an amazing card.

Valverde as well but like from 5 and 12 million coins you have Cuaradona 11 Quaresma which is one of my favorite players from back in the days when he was playing you know Mr. Trivela he's 1.5 millions so not very attainable for me I won't pack them I can't afford them The one on the lower end I can afford.

But there's not that many players I feel that because of the curve will improve my team.

Surprise me.

Well, at the risk of, as you say, it being the Nick Moran show, I did a movie with David Ginola.

Fantastic.

Which was great.

And he starts doing this, like, Harlem Grobetrotter-style keepy-ups.

Like, ridiculous.

And he's looking at this guy, not breaking an eye cap, going, Ah! David Ginola! Two-time European Player of the Year! Ah! And then I grabbed the ball off him and said, David, David, no, no, he's not saying you can't play football.

He's saying we're not allowed to play football.

have

to? I took David Ginola's hair.

What's Ian dressed up as? From his Newcastle time.

As a legendary

I don't know.

It's, I don't know.

I find the first thing in the store and it looks like, you know, David Ginola hair.

And I found a cat mask and I'm sorry, I'm not going to wear it for the evening.

Conocidos como The Entertainers, los entretenedores.

Las urracas contaban con figuras como Peter Beardsley, David Ginola, Les Ferdinand, Faustino Asprilla y posteriormente Alan Shearer.

En enero del 96 tenían doce puntos de ventaja en el liderato.

El Liverpool se adelantó con un gol de Robbie Fowler, pero el Newcastle respondió gracias a Les Ferdinand.

Los dos equipos intercambiaron goles en un encuentro espectacular.

David Ginola y Faustino Asprilla ayudaron al Newcastle a mantenerse en la pelea, mientras el Liverpool seguía encontrando la manera de atacar.

El marcador estaba tres tres y todo parecía encaminado hacia un empate, pero en el tiempo añadido marcó el Liverpool.
