Phil Parkes
as a sad end to a career, although in many ways it was an entirely appropriate and funny end:
Stuart Pearce, enjoying a swan song in Man Citys promotion year under Keegan (about 2003?). with promotion and the title already sewn up, City play Pompey last game of the season. Pearce has scored 99 league goals and with City 4-1 up, old psycho plays the last 10 minutes as an ersatz centre forward, shooting into the platt lane stand at every opportunity. The crowd are willing Pearce to score and when city have a penalty in injury time, destiny calls.
The keeper tells pearce that he will not dive or attempt to save. Pearce duly spoons the ball over the bar. 35000 collapse in laughter
