Ernie Hunt...
Ernie Hunt, the former Swindon Town, Wolves, Everton and Coventry inside forward, has died at the age of 75.
Ernie became a legend at Molineux and helped Wolves reach the first division in 1966-1967. He was a larger than life character with a deadly shot and feared nobody.
But he will always be remembered for this remarkable goal playing for Coventry...
Ernie...And Willie.
R.I.P. Ernie.

Grimmy: I think they may have done, but I'm not hundred per cent sure.
Maybe Builderboy can enlighten us?
Great goal though.

I remember that goal and trying to copy it at school on the Monday. I think it was banned but not just after that goal. Don't know why it was but it was fantastic entertainment. RIP Ernie.

I remember Ernie scoring a lovely goal at Deepdale in April, 1967. We beat North End 2-1 and virtually clinched promotion.
On the same day, Scotland beat England 3-2 at Wembley, and became 'unofficial' world champions.
Great times in footy.

It was classed as having two touches and, since you can only touch it once when taking a free kick, it was banned.
