Oh yes! Johnny "Ole" Lamb was caught in an awkward position in the box where the 6 yard box meets the touchline. He's got a big heavy defender steaming in towards him. All he needs to do is shift the ball and make sure he gets himself out the way too and he's clear. Does he do that? Does he fuck. He steps over the ball one way, then steps over the ball the other way, basically not moving himself or the ball, but instead moving the defender, who second-guesses his final position and flies on by in a Top Gun stylee, allowing John Lamb clear path to goal where he powers the ball wide. Probably the best result as any man with any pride whatsoever would have been ready to kill had he been made to look so stupid and conceded a goal at the same time.
