I'm still trying to work this out ............... If he (Mr Jones) kicked off (from the centre spot, as it has to be), and then ran "diagonally to the right", how could he finish up in "the centre of the 18 yard box" to have "hit it under him" (the Torquay GK)? He'd have been somewhere near the right hand corner flag, surely? ................... Or has the meaning of "diagonally" changed over the years?
Or was the report written by a well known local newspaper? Ar*e ...... elbow .......
