Feature: Bergkamp, Beckham & brawling

Collection of clips, as featured in the December 2009 issue

Select a feature:

1 Left Foot Like A Traction Engine

Maradona of the Carpathians? Even Diego couldn’t match the free-kicks of Gheorghe Hagi, whose “territory” seems to have been the entire opponents’ half.

2 David Beckham: Preston Substitute

Becks’ spell at PNE, as seen in this loving clipreel of the future icon’s fledging first-team foothold. Funnily enough, it features goals from free-kicks and assists from corners.

3 East Germany 3, West Germany 3

Watch the Cold War clash between Dinamo Dresden and Bayern Munich in authentic ’70s JerkyVision. As usual, Gerd Muller nicks a scrappy goal from six yards, in a quite simply magnificent pair of sideboards.

4 It's Up To You, Dwight Yorke

Not many United players are widely liked by non-Reds, but Dwight Yorke gained general approval for his general joie de vivre. Watch him in his turn-of-the-century pomp for Fergie’s classic 4-4-2 side.

5 Posh & Becks: Unseen

Planning their next holiday while relaxing in the luxurious surroundings of Beckingham Palace, it’s... oh alright it’s Alistair MacGowan and Ronnie Ancona, but it’s well worth a watch.

6 Gerrard: He Kicks It F****n' Hard

December's cover star certainly knows how to put his laces through the ball. Exhibit A is this swish compilation of his greatest hits. Add your own “Wallop!” commentary.

7 Bergkamp! Bergkamp!

We love a passionate commentator. Like this Dutch bloke who, as Dennis brilliantly wins a France 98 quarter-final, collapses into incoherent babbling of the great man’s name.

8 "Thatcher, Can You Hear Me?!"

The finest commentary of all: proud Bjørge Lillelien marks Norway’s 1981 World Cup qualifier win over England with a lyrical litany: “Your boys took a hell of a beating!”

9 Football! Girls! Brawling!

A Brazilian womens’ game bursts into frenzied all-out running battle. And why not?
