Watch the goal
“ Bruce Lee once said : ‘ Be as narrow as a link and as fast as a shadow .‘ That fits in completely with this goal . I still remember it perfectly : Olaf Thon crossed the ball into the box from midfield on 35 minutes . I was horizontal in the air and I hit the ball perfectly . It was certainly worthwhile me doing 18 Bruce Lee drills a day for four years , for example for coordination and flexibility . The fact I suffered bruised ribs when I hit the ground was a minor matter . This strike topped the poll as ‘ Goal of the Year ‘ with 113,000 votes . It was also one of the ten goals nominated for the ‘ Bayern Goal of the Century ‘ award . The fans opted for a goal scored by Gerd Müller against Tennis Borussia Berlin and that ‘ s only right , of course . Gerd Müller is a legend and my goals are a shadow of his achievements . That made it even better that he later said to me my goal had to be the winner for him . Recently somebody recognised me when I was out shopping and said : ‘ Hey , Cobra , I ‘ ve never seen another goal like yours from back then .‘“
