With the ‘magic of the cup’ upon this weekend, reminiscing over a Julian Joachim wonder goal seemed like a good way of getting in the mood for FA Cup football.
The goal in question came in a third round replay against Barnsley at Filbert street in 1993. Joachim, who had just broken on to the scene for Leicester, ran from his own half before nonchalantly chipping the keeper with an audacious outside of the boot finish.
“18-years-old and the World at his feet” proclaimed the commentator after Joachim’s exquisite goal. Proving that even 20 odd years ago, commentators were no less hyperbolic when it came to describing the latest English youngster to make his mark.
Watch Joachim’s beauty below.
