I've always enjoyed playing that way - expressing myself, trying different things. Soccer AM opened it up to every other fan out there. You would have them all speaking about the Showboat. It was nice to be in with some world-class players.
There were few positives for Sunderland fans in the 2016-17 season as they finished rock bottom and 16 points from safety, but the emergence of one of their own - Jordan Pickford - was a highlight. Initially second choice to Vito Mannone, Pickford was promoted to the first team after an injury to his colleague and never gave up the No.1 spot. He ended the year with the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
But what has lived on that day is not the Dutchman's performance in the win, but his celebration following Gyan's goal, as Zenden unleashed a bona fide 'dad dance' next to the fleet-footed Ghanaian.
Manchester United's Maya Le Tissier and Elisabeth Terland playfully mocked Frank Ilett by pretending to cut their hair while celebrating a goal in the 3-0 Champions League win against Atletico Madrid. It is 496 days since United supporter Ilett pledged not to cut his hair until the men's team won five games in a row. After four successive victories, Ilett was hopeful of finally getting a trim on Tuesday when the Red Devils travelled to West Ham,
Refreshing Instagram, there was a thousand [likes] here, another thousand there. It was one of the most surreal things I have ever been through. I remember the actual moment of the goal, I can picture it and tell you exactly what happened. It was more the aftermath I don't really remember. Even being on that pitch and travelling to that game was enough for me. Then to score took it to another level. It's definitely one of the best days of my life.
Solanke was involved in the first goal, doing all the hard work before forcing Marc Guehi to put the ball into the back of his own net. And not long later, he produced one of the best goals of the season, as he improvised a scorpion kick goal to draw Spurs level. Following a lung-busting run down the right flank, January signing Conor Gallagher whipped a cross into the box. The delivery was slightly behind Solanke, but the striker showed extraordinary instinct, leaning forward and flicking his trailing heel to loop the ball over a stunned Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Luka Vuskovic started out at Hajduk Split in Croatia, debuting at 15 years of age and became the club's youngest-ever goalscorer in a league match five days after his 16th birthday. It was a sign of things to come. The 6ft 4in central defender, who is currently on Tottenham's books, hails from a family of footballers which includes grandfather Mario, father Danijel and brother, also Mario.
"Goodness me," legendary goalscorer Shearer said during his commentary for BBC. "What is Delap doing? "It is as if he is thinking, 'I have all the time in the world.' He ambles to it and he takes his time. What are you waiting for? "Liam Delap has not had a good four minutes. He has given it away twice and missed a sitter. Delap has been poor and he has been given the opportunity tonight. Delap looks very lazy, his performances have to improve."
Virgil van Dijk has broken the deadlock at the Stadium of Light, giving Liverpool the lead against Sunderland. The Reds were largely frustrated in the first half, with the Black Cats' formidable Premier League home record once again proving hard to overcome. But in the second half, the big Dutchman was on hand to direct Mohamed Salah's corner into the back of the net, courtesy of a deflection off a Sunderland man along the way.
Keegan was in charge of Newcastle between 1992 and 1997. They were dubbed The Entertainers' due to their cavalier approach to defending, and his belief that the team had a duty to put on a show for the paying public. Arguably his most famous moment came in 1996 when, as Liverpool scored in the last minute to beat his side 4-3 to all but end their fading Premier League title hopes, he slumped over some advertising hoardings.
