More misses than Henry VIII

Posted on 7th January 2011

This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.

Last year brought misses galore but 2011 already brings a team effort of such staggering ineptitude that upon viewing even Emile Heskey is reported to have screamed: “How did they miss that?!”. The action comes from Greece where home side Veria scupper five sitters within the space of five seconds. We think three separate players were involved in the misses although following the action is the visual equivalent of herding cats. Lots of cats.
