Can anybody remember seeing a headed goal from further out than Alex Kacaniklic's (not on TV, but live - as I think Alan Clarke scored a goal from edge of penalty area for Leeds many years back).  Remember the goal was just beyond the penalty spot.  I think Brian McBride's headed goal versus Everton might have been further out and I would expect a Roger Brown goal could be from further out.

Andy Carrols header at the European Championship was a fair way out. Kaca's header was superb.

Martin Palermo from almost the midfield... ok ok I know it's no Fulham related but you have to admit it was great!

Didn't Chris Guthrie score one from the edge of the area? Or am I reliving my drug fuelled dreams again?
The above IS NOT A LEGAL DOCUMENT. It is an opinion.

We may yet hear the horse talk.

I can stand my own despair but not others hope

McBride also scored a looping header into the far corner against Villa (his second that match, we scored three in total IIRC) from a decent distance.

Yep they 'featured' the goal on the big match, I think...

Obviously there are going to be a few headers from distance, but they are not common. I bet none of those mentioned bounced before going in.

This brings me to my point - would you have been happy to have conceded that goal? It may have been well placed but it did not have blistering pace.

No, I would have crucified Schwarzer for conceding a goal like that. It was well placed but it really should have been saved. Mannone is a bit of a joke in goal and I think a fit Szczesny would have most likely saved it.

Derek Johnstone for Scotland, a bullit header from the edge of the box. In the 70s.
