Yes, a ludicrous amount of those were scored against Wimbledon. And they left out another LeTissier stunner against them where he flicked the ball up from a free kick and smashed it in from 25 yards.

On the options given i'd have give my vote to LeTissier vs Newcastle (which you can view here in a nasty animated gif form) which DiCanio against the club formerly known as Wimbledon second.

Beckham's FLUKE from the halfway line is, of course, the favourite because the 'fans' are voting for this and most of them are bandwagon United 'fans'.
