Nor David Beckams free kicks and THE most underrated player who will take over beck's record - Ward Prowse LEADER too. UNREAL player. So underrated. He could have played for a top team even without his UNREAL delivery. Shame he hasnt AND could have held Englands midfield together. Like i said LEADER like top tier LEADER on and off the pitch. And i have ZERO bias Im a boro fan.
That tactic worked with Stoke’s crazy physical team of tall lads: Robert Huth, Ryan Shawcross, Kenwyne Jones, Peter Crouch, etc. Bergovic who was Stoke keeper at that time joked that he didnt need to come out to collect a corner in two years.
It's 01.43 and I'm chuckling away at the toure one. The league was so much better for the diversity of styles, absolutely embarrassing watching championship clubs come up trying to be mini pep man city's. The boaz my myhill kick out for a corner is iconic. The trajectory on them throws was something else!
Myhill escaping Rory's long throw is so funny. Epic! Football back then was so much fun. Beckham's free kick, Rory's long throw, we have Crouch super tall guy. Everyone is so unique.
I don’t understand why there wasn’t a new respect for the throw in after delap. Had that throw in technique come from a top club winger (giggs, bale) we would have seen a new generation obsessed with the throw in and be witnessing an entirely different game.
I’ve often wondered this. I’ve played with four guys in the last decade who can launch a ball 30-40 yards and while that’s not as far or flat as Delap it can’t be that rare.
I went to a Sunderland -Stoke match at the Stadium of Light and was just in awe of the throw. He did one throw from near the halfway line and got so much distance it got to the box. Absolutely incredible
Totally agree. I'm an arsenal guy. Wenger's proposition have no sense and connection with football that we know and love today, it would change the game completely and unpredictably, and in the end, dramatically. Not a fan of that.
I 'chaperoned' a few teams to Villa Park many years ago to watch Villa v Stoke. A couple of the coaches were ex internationals, one played for Inter in the late '80s. It was 1-0 to Villa. Late in the game, Delap hurled a ball from just inside the Villa half, packed area and Kenwyn Jones leapt highest and scored. Coach turned around and said to me in broken English - "this not football, this sh*t".
Maybe its because i was watching league 1 leeds around this time and not facing it every season but i think these are almost works of art to watch. Barclays heritage.
@@AltairBernard definitely. I am also ambidextrous by force (broke me left hand in 3 places and I had to do everything with my right for so many months it became natural). Now I have 2 hands with delicate control.
Thinking back to the days when stoke were rated literally the most physical team and the tallest on average in the premier league 🤔 Playing at their home ground, a nightmare fixture for any club
Everyone who liked this one should see this clip of a match from 1993 between Halmstad and Helsingborg. Roger Eriksson had a special throw aswell. Unbelievable idea. 2:10 is the time in the clip
I never took football too seriously but could launch a fabulous throw (was also a javelin thrower, I even used the overhead throw in basketball to good effect). I always wondered why this one tiny aspect of the game had not been exploited, especially considering the work done on corner strategies. It could also be largely my ignorance that I'd never really seen it pushed to it's limits in the professional game. I am not an avid viewer. It was very interesting to see the theory in practise however.
I’ve never seen Rory Delap do anything with his feet lol. I don’t even know what position he plays, and what he’s like on the pitch - he’s just an absolute beast with his arms lol
How do you get MOTD footage from 10 plus years ago, I'm jealous I scowered everywhere on Reddit trying to find old BBC World Cup 2006 or Prem footage from 08 09 Impressive 😂😢😢
I knew stoke had work on this in training. But it used to be so scary as the opposing team fan as i knew there was a prepared set piece that is basically untrainable.
It surprised me that Leicester were the 5000-1 title winners 15/16 I had a bet on stoke if anyone could of won the league like that it could of been stoke
It was honestly freakish how far Delap could throw the ball. Myhill for Hull deliberately putting the ball out for a corner rather than a throw in says it all. Teams were terrified to concede a throw in in their own third of the pitch against this Stoke team.
Was nothing new Ian Hutchinson (The Windmill) of Chelsea used to have a long trow which he used to great effect. He once threw the ball into the six yard box from just over the half way line.
Lol, I remember a match, probably it was against Arsenal, a defender had the ball in his feet and was contemplating where to clear it. Usually players clear the ball out for a throwin. After some careful consideration he kicked out for a corner. 😂
Kempo with Dicko and Davo playing with Dano squaring off with Deano along side Kano and Jacko who's mate is Johno who is the brother of Shauno who all played football at stoke with Dono, Philo, Matteo, Freddo and Micko
Rory says he used it throughout his career then Pulis says he found out by chance at the training ground one day. Surely when he was being scouted his long throw would have been noted. Pulis story sounds like bullshit.
Na, throw-ins aren't respected, just typically a job you give to a no. 6 with the message "don't waste it" and that's that. Nobody was having a lightbulb moment with Rory or anything.
I was captain of the County U18s and about to sign for Stoke at 17 back in 1988 before a career ending injury (an opponent deliberately injured my knee.. as I was a junior international level athlete. ie I was running 100m in 10.6 BUT I was a left fullback who were the generally the slow "donkeys" at that time) and was doing these throw ins back then.. I could without a run up reach the furthest side of the 6 yard box.. so it was really COOL to see him do these, make them "sexy" (eye catching) and open peoples minds to how effective a weapon they could be.. so it baffles me how even now so few players can do a long throw in. Like him I did javelin ( and high jump, long jump + discus.. BUT only started getting really quick when I grew to my adult height ) at County level at 15.. so perhaps they need to send these pro's upto their local athletics clubs (smile).. Nice to reminisce about something I can relate to so easily. Note: The world record holder for long throw ins has worked with pro teams incl. Liverpool to improve all aspects of how throw ins can be used to "make a difference".
Is this the most effective tactic in Premier League history? 👇
It's an amazing arrow in the quiver, that's for sure. Had defenders scrambling for a few years.

Streets wont forget this Stoke City team. Legendary. They even made it into the Europa League after reaching the FA Cup Final in 2011.
They made it further than Spurs in that tournament.

Good point. It was Stoke and Delap, not ManU and Beckham throwing them in like that.
I’ve often wondered this. I’ve played with four guys in the last decade who can launch a ball 30-40 yards and while that’s not as far or flat as Delap it can’t be that rare.
Tbh, team like Arsenal could utilize this because they already have great other deadball routines.
@@hijisfriend9030 looooooool 800 million to become Stoke
Very few ambidextrous footballers, and usually they're not top players anyway so it's not worth playing someone solely for a throw in
Great stuff, talk about fear and panic in the box...loved the clip of the keeper who'd rather give a corner away than a throw. Priceless.
His son plays for Buxton and he’s got it. He’s got the long throw genes 👌🏻
His son plays for Ipswich too didn’t know he had two sons n
That hull keeper was killing me🤣
I’d be the same 😅 I’m choosing defending a corner over one of those evil throw ins any day of the week
Tactical thinking!
These well researched, well edited vids you’ve been making recently are top drawer. Thank you for your service to football
Have work tomorrow morning and I’ve somehow stumbled across this video at 12am
[10:44] Maradona at the Brittania Stadium watching Stoke v. Liverpool is something out of the Twilight Zone 😅
He was the argentina national team coach at the time,so prob was watching the argentinians at liverpool (Rodríguez and Mascherano if im not wrong)

6:00 seing a goalkeeper opt to have a corner rather than a throw in makes me laugh so hard
i wanted to see this mamy years! Its a beauty, thanks for this , a whole series of throw in led goals from the sky city, stoke
It was so terrifying for opposition that Wenger tried to get rid of throw-ins when he took up a position of power.
Totally agree. I'm an arsenal guy. Wenger's proposition have no sense and connection with football that we know and love today, it would change the game completely and unpredictably, and in the end, dramatically. Not a fan of that.
the hull player warming up right in front of delap is priceless hahaha teams really feared a delap heat seeking missile
Windass was always like this to be fair, he was a gazza wannabe.

EA Sports should be ashamed of themselves for not introducing this into their FIFA game.
it literally is in the game. its called giant throw in trait
No, I mean at the time.
They did. He got his own animation for his throw ins.
Oh.
@@ryannstringfellow2067i remember this in FIFA10
Now his son is an awesome striker
his son is already 1000x the footballer he could ever dream of being
Ambidextrous is the ability to use both hands to write etc I think he's talking about being double jointed
He means hyper-mobile
it's definitely an advantage, if you can throw with both hands
It just means equal strength and control in both arms, a great advantage to aim accurately.
Try throwing with your wrong hand. It obviously makes a difference.
@@AltairBernard definitely. I am also ambidextrous by force (broke me left hand in 3 places and I had to do everything with my right for so many months it became natural). Now I have 2 hands with delicate control.
Used to scare the heck out of you when he had a throw in against your team
As an Arsenal fan, I hated those throw ins from Rory. It was panic in the box everytime. Never seen a guy even come close to matching his skill at it.
Rory was touted as an Olympic prospect at javelin throwing. Not hard to see why.
Football was so much more entertaining back then.
10:44 imagine how many hands of God he could’ve scored if only he’d played with Rory Delap.
why was he there?

he does a forward vault as a wind up before reaching his feet againand doing the throw. Best way i can describe it
Just watched it, hilarious 🤣
Defenders playing for corners when they played Stoke 😂😂
Dude been playing since i was in high school, now i have 3 kids and he's still playing, incredible.
The pitch at stoke was also a couple meters narrower than most teams in the league at the time.
That’s hilarious. Like they’re walking into a death trap
Those throw ins were better than corners. How many other players have this ability that’s never been discovered?
I never took football too seriously but could launch a fabulous throw (was also a javelin thrower, I even used the overhead throw in basketball to good effect). I always wondered why this one tiny aspect of the game had not been exploited, especially considering the work done on corner strategies.

stoke getting a throw in was like having david beckham getting a free kick 😂
His throw was a thing of beauty.
Still can't get over how insane it is to base your entire attack on long throw ins.
I'll never get over the fact that an Irish side looking for a creative spark that tried to get most goals from set pieces anyway never recalled him 🤦

I remember those. Absolutely horrific
AHH Rory delap now there's an effective squad player
Preferring to give away a corner than a throw in is quite outrageous 😂
lol At Kalou blocking the throw in 😅

I noticed that too😂Either that or he was trying to make a claim that there was no touch,
ahahah true :D

Most unlikely premier league legend
Oh how we’ve fallen,
Almunia was a nightmare to watch Damm. My father made fun of him in the 06 ulc final
So did he get an assist for these throw ins that resulted in goals? Or did he not because he was “out of field of play”?
Talk to your lad about the green now!
Imagine ireland had this available aswell as andy reid, wes hoolahan and stephen ireland and none ever played under trapattoni.

Wonderful stuff.
Never pass the ball into his hands. Them throws were scary for the opps
Against Stoke back then players would rather put the ball behind for a corner than concede the throw in 😂
