We revisit some evocative Oldham Athletic footage here with a goal from club legend Andy Ritchie. So much of the game has changed since this moment was captured, a quarter of a century ago, yet one thing that will never change is the primal joy experienced by football fans when witnessing a true centre forward's header - this a prime example. An inswinging cross is floated into the box and the graceful forward rises early, reading the flight of the ball perfectly. Ritchie has plenty to do but thanks to his powerful neck muscles he is able to connect with devastating power and send a thumping header into the net. Vintage striker play.
