Ernie Hunt and his strike partner Willie Carr made famous the now forbidden “Donkey Kick” free kick taking .

I happened to be staying with a mate near Coventry that weekend. We went to the game mainly to see a great Everton side. We were stood right behind that goal and I will never forget it. Very sad to hear about Ernie Hunt. R. I. P.

Wasn’t he our manager for a few months?

I don't know why FIFA outlawed that. Typical though.

Possibly because the ball isn’t actually ‘kicked’ according to Law 13
