It was apparently filmed and shown on BBC Sportsnight that evening.'"
Bloody knew it!!
Cheers Pal.
IIRC - Hanley burst through half the length of the pitch and with 20 metres to the line started to slow down and act the goat with the ball goading the opposition, a covering defender on his blind side caught up with him and hung on, now we still scored but can't remember if Hanley had to throw the ball out to one of our players or he managed to wriggle over the line.
Anyway I remember it spared his blushes as he looked decidely embarrassed about it. I'm sure it was the same night as it was on TV afterwards like you say!!
