George Weah's legendary goal: AC Milan striker dribbled length of the pitch to score against Verona

Italy's Serie A was at its height in the 1990s, and few points were as high as one that took place 20 years ago.

On September 8, 1996, AC Milan's George Weah scored a goal against Hellas Verona that's all but certain to be in any conversation about the greatest goals of all time.

With Milan 2-1 up with less than 10 minutes left to play, the Liberian picks up a misplaced Verona corner in his own 18-yard box.
