Just watched Ernie Hunts brill free kick which won goal of the season. The move was then banned by FIFA. What was the reason for it being outlawed?

I could be wrong here, but I think at the time the LOTG required the ball to at least travel it's own circumference first from an IDFK or something like that. (?)
 
Just googled it, and I was wrong. Apparently it was because the guy flicking it up with his heels was adjudged to have "double-touched" the ball in order to achieve the flick so that Hunt could volley it... :cool:
