    would do anything as unseemly and vulgar as an overhead kick.

    I think Giroud has scored at least a couple of scissor kick "corkers".

    That was old school La Piola though

    To be fair, I'm not entirely sure that technically counts as an overhead kick. Also we were about 12-0 down at the time

    “corker” Another word only ever used in the context of football

    See also: “rue” and “readied”

    Hahah, I know, it's precisely why I used it just now, very Roy of the Rovers. "Rue" is one

    of my least favourite footie cliches. Don't think I have ever seen it used outside of "they would rue all those missed chances etc."

    No. I saw "Mrs Hudson's Christmas Corker" at Wilton's in December.

    Whatever happened to the 'hum-dinger'? Think it came from pinball but my dad and his lot used

    it for a power shot in football.
