have just been shot; but it takes more than that to
kill a Bull Moose. But fortunately I had my
manuscript, so you see I was going to make a long
speech, and there is a bullet - there is where the
bullet went through - and it probably saved me
from it going into my heart. The bullet is in me
now, so that I cannot make a very long speech, but I
will try my best.”

In the 1966 Football world cup final,England led 2-1 until the very end
of the game, when a German goal leveled the scores and took the
match into extra time. With eleven minutes of extra time gone, Alan
Ball put in a cross to England striker Geoff Hurst, who swivelled and
shot from close range. The ball hit the underside of the cross bar,
bounced down - apparently on or just over the line - before being
cleared away by the German defenders.
The England players celebrated a goal, but the referee Gottfried Dienst
was uncertain if it had been a goal. He consulted his linesman, Tofik
Bakhramov from the Soviet Union, after nonverbal communication,
as they had no common language, the Swiss referee awarded the goal
to the home team. The crowd and the audience of 400 million
television viewers were left arguing whether the goal should have
been given or not. Which football term originated out of this
incident?
