The words of commentator Jon Champion as ‘Kinky’ scored one of the greatest goals ever witnessed at Maine Road back in March 1996.
On the eve of our home game against Southampton - the opposition for that wonder goal by the Georgian genius - we revisit a moment few who witnessed it will ever forget.
Matchday Live commentator and lifelong Blue Ally Mann takes a first trip back to where Maine Road once stood to remember that epic day 28 years ago.
Joining him on this weaving and winding trip down memory lane are Gio’s former team-mates Keith Curle and kit Symons.
“We called him ‘Happy Feet’” says Curle.
“I had a big smile when he scored that goal.” adds Symons.
“There was a moment of silence as everyone realised they’d witnessed something very special that day - then Maine Road went wild.”
