Catch ball on chest

Time stands still as you catch the ball skilfully on your chest and prepare to blast it into the back of the net for a glorious winner. As the driving rain lashes your eyes it occurs to you that it's just that little bit too straight so you won't be able to make your mind up which way to swivel and hook the ball in. Instead you let the ball run down your chest so you can toe-poke it in, but that gives the defender just enough time to recover and he goes clattering into you. The ball goes careening up into the sky and you realise that both your legs are broken but the ref still doesn't give a penalty. Bugger. You're stretchered off and GT sends Wooter on; in the five minutes that he's on he sets up Tommy Smith for his hat-trick before grabbing a brace himself and Watford win 5-2.
