Ronny Rosenthal

[upbeat music]

Sean Teale goes up for it, but he's beaten by Ronny Rosenthal.

Rosenthal, and it looks like a goal.

And he's hit the crossbar, would you believe it? And cleared by Paul McGrath.

Relief for Villa, relief for the Holte End, as Ronny Rosenthal surely suffers the miss of the season.

[upbeat music]

I will love it if we beat them.

And I would argue that Manchester United at that time were on TV more than any other football team in the world, so obviously there's more video evidence.

It's like that Ronnie Rosenthal open goal.

That is not the worst miss in the history of football.

There are far worse misses, but people remember it because it was one of the few that was recorded and seen by a lot of people.

Mm

... all the other songs that, that, that have been sung for years and years, but my favorite that I always think about, that I enjoyed and I thought was funny, while the game's going on, I'm actually smiling, and I think I might have mentioned it before on here, is we had a player called Ronnie Rosenthal from Israel.

Mm.

And the s- he, he came on the first game, and in the second game he came on, and between the first and the second game, I dunno how we all got together, but the whole stadium started singing, "Ha-ba nagila, ha-va nagila, ha-va nagila, ha-va."

Oh, he scored

again! Another goal, but nothing by Ronnie Rosenthal.

But what a fantastic cross that was by Davison.

And Lineker uses him by not using him.

That was-

It was like, it was like Ronny Rosenthal.

It was-

That did mess-

cross.

It was free! And he's marked his debut with a goal! Oh, he scored again! Another goal from nothing by Ronnie Rosenthal.

But what a fantastic cross that was by David Giroud.

And Lineker uses him by not using him.

Another

goal from nothing by Ronnie Rosenthal.

But what a fantastic cross that was by David Genoa.

And Lineker uses him by not using him.
