It's 25 years to the day since Ray Houghton stuck the ball in the back of the England net just 6 minutes into their Group B Euro '88 encounter in Stuttgart.

You've got to love Gabriel Egan's excitable commentary for the goal. He just about checks himself short of a Brazilian-esque 'GGGGOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!!!!'.
