On 17 August 1996, 21-year old Manchester United midfielder David Beckham grabbed world headlines with a spectacular goal from the halfway line.

With United already leading 0-2, Beckham received the ball inside his own half and took a short dribble toward the halfway line.

As Sullivan scrambled backward to reach it, the ball fell over his head and into the net.
