The 400mph free kick

Last updated : 15 September 2004 By Site Staff
Paul Furlong fired home a free kick in the first half and George Santos headed home a second as QPR eased their way to victory, manager Ian Holloway was pleased... with the goal he saw;

“I would like to say I saw Georges’ goal but I had to run off and go to the toilet. I saw Paul’s goal, though, and it was a marvellous strike.

“It almost went in before the keeper had a chance to blink. I reckon the ball was travelling at 400mph and I bet it burned the keeper’s eyebrows off!

“Paul is getting better and better with age and the kid is looking on top form. I say kid but he’s 35 now.”
