Still one of my all-time favourite goals. It epitomised the football that 1970 team played. Chelsea had a corner or free-kick that was played into the box. John Hurst started the move, he found Colin on the edge of our box, he sprayed it out to Bally, sprinting down the right wing, and he played an incredible first-time pass straight onto the onrushing Jimmy's chest, who finished with a volley into the net. In my mind, at least, the ball didn't touch the ground after leaving Colin's boot until it was in the back of their net.
Pretty much as I remember it, though from the Street End it looked like he hit it on the half volley. Best team goal ever.
