His infamous tap-in at Elland Road in April 1971 isn’t relevant here because Jessica asked specifically about goal scorers who were offside. In that case the controversy – “And Leeds will go mad! And they’ve every right to go mad!” – was about the position of Colin Suggett and whether he was interfering with play.Roberto Baggio (Italy 2-1 England, 1990, although he probably should have had a penalty seconds earlier, and don’t get us started on Nicola Berti’s disallowed goal in the sam...
