Neco Shay Williams of WALES

MGW scored a similar one v Bournemouth (last game of last season).
 
Only bright moment of the match as a Norwegian Forest fan was Neco finally hitting a free kick home. Granted, Norway's goalkeeper is useless, and so was the wall.
 
Remember the days of getting the season review videos as a kid and Stuart Pearce would routinely bang in four or five free kicks per season and Nigel Clough would weigh in with two or three aswell....

Christ we're lucky to get one free kick goal every few years these days. Get Neco on free kick duty!

There is a reporter on BBC who's name is Harry Farley and I just can't get out of my head the spoof mystery play the Two Ronnies did which has an inspector in it called Charlie Farley, every time I see him. Such things are conjured up when I see such a post as this on here.

Not forgetting Johnny Metgod. Remember his thunderbolt that almost burst the net against West Ham around about '85?

Give the Wales set piece coach a bell. Last time we scored direct from a free kick?

As already mentioned MGW v Bournemouth final day of last season. Ball was set rolling for him, so technically for the stats it may not go down as direct I suppose. But it should do. Same as many of Pearce's goals from free kicks.

Before that though...was it James Garner in the Championship under Hughton during covid v QPR? That one looked like it may have been a cross. Then Tiago Silva v Bristol City a season earlier.

Neco has scored twice shooting from free kicks for Wales as a Forest player over a period of time when Forest have scored one.

Not forgetting Woany too. What a player.
 
Interesting that he played RB last night, well at least according to my scores app he did. It can't be easy going from LWB to RB and then back again within a few weeks.

When we had Nigel Clough and Lee Chapman I think one was right footer and one was left foot so they would both stand over a free kick to make it more difficult to establish a wall or for the keeper to position for the kick.

I thought about this because I'm sure I saw one of them score from a free kick at West Ham.

Do you mean Clough and Pearce? Nigel once scored a free kick where Pearce had run over the ball at Upton Park.
