Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney's goal has been dubbed better than Pele's in 'Escape to Victory'.
Former Ipswich, Liverpool and Scotland star John Wark should know.
For he was involved in the Brazilian maestro's stunner, appearing alongside him with various other big-name stars in 1982 film Escape to Victory.
Wark, 53, said: "When I saw Rooney's goal, it reminded me straight away of what Pele did in the film.
"I remember that scene well. The director asked Bobby Moore to cross the ball from the right and told Pele 'We need something spectacular from you'.
"Bobby chipped it in and Pele took off and sent a sensational overhead kick flying into the net. One take and it was over.
"But you have to remember the circumstances and pressure were different.
"Rooney was playing in a Manchester derby before an Old Trafford full house.
"Pele was facing defenders played by actors."
