The Rory Delap Throw in! 

Is this the most effective tactic in Premier League history? 👇

I 'chaperoned' a few teams to Villa Park many years ago to watch Villa v Stoke. A couple of the coaches were ex internationals, one played for Inter in the late '80s. It was 1-0 to Villa. Late in the game, Delap hurled a ball from just inside the Villa half, packed area and Kenwyn Jones leapt highest and scored. Coach turned around and said to me in broken English - "this not football, this sh*t".

i wanted to see this mamy years! Its a beauty, thanks for this , a whole series of throw in led goals from the sky city, stoke

It was so terrifying for opposition that Wenger tried to get rid of throw-ins when he took up a position of power.

Streets wont forget this Stoke City team. Legendary. They even made it into the Europa League after reaching the FA Cup Final in 2011.

EA Sports should be ashamed of themselves for not introducing this into their FIFA game.

Maybe its because i was watching league 1 leeds around this time and not facing it every season but i think these are almost works of art to watch. Barclays heritage.

Wonderful stuff.

Used to scare the heck out of you when he had a throw in against your team
