Oh that Angwin goal was something else.
Does anyone know if there is footage of that Angwin goal? I’ve been hearing about it for years but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it.
I can't find anything though I feel like I saw it somewhere not all that long ago. It wasn't so much that it was anything spectacular for a goal of the year contender, it was that he made it look so easy for a guy that was 200 CM. Baulked a player without even thinking about it and slotted it on the run. I remember thinking at the time, it's an elite talent that does that so easily.
Think of that footage of a young kouta plucking it one handed and slotting it on the run. Wasn't the spectacle of the goal as a little moment that made you take notice and think this kid has something special.
I got the same feeling watching Kemp do the blind turn in the middle of the ground and put the foot down before he fluffed the kick. Just a small moment in the scheme of the game that made you smile because that's not something you see from a kid in their 3rd or 4th game.
Laurie's goal was one of those moments but alas it wasn't to be. Let's hope young Kemp was a glimpse into the not too distant future.
That’s a pretty perfect summary Cranium.
Only thing I’d add is that if you spent time watching him at training you’d see similar on a regular basis. It wasn’t just the skills that were mind blowing but the confidence he had in using them.
