 Long Ball Football

It`s interesting to see Sean Dyche`s comments, and some of the statistics, about using a long ball out of defence, and taking long throw-ins, both of which are becoming fashionable again.

Also the only player I’ve seen kick the ball over the main stand at Celtic park protecting our lead.
Celtic officials in a panic as they didn’t have a spare in the dugout

Mark Haro (I think) had a massive throw in him.

Mark Hamill had the longest throw of any player I can recall. EDIT might have been Mark Haro 😁

I remember seeing Motherwell play Llanelli in a European match (at the Excelsior Stadium in Airdrie), and being amazed by the length of the throw-ins by the Llanelli fullback, Andy Legg. Wiki says he once held the world record with a distance of 44.6 m (48.8 yards).https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Legg
