Going round the Goalie

There was a time back in the day when every striker it seemed, when one on one with the goalie would go round him to try and score. Two of my favourites were Georgie Best of course. European cup final, which I was very privileged to be there, where he went round the Portuguese goalie like he wasn’t there and of course the infamous one where chopper Harris tried to kick him into row Z and completely missed!! There were plenty of others. Greaves used to do it too for fun.
But you don’t see it in the modern game it seems. In fact I was trying to think of the last time one of our lot did it. There must be some.
