Frank Lampard's 'Ghost Goal' Against Germany & the 8 Infamous Goals That Never Were

I am ever so sorry to remind you of this, but exactly nine years ago today Frank Lampard scored his 'ghost goal' against Germany in the 2010 World Cup last-16.

Unless, of course, you're German...or from anywhere other than England. In which case, this may have brought you unbridled joy.

For those wearing the flag of St. George, however, this is a rather painful memory.

Fortunately, the misery can be shared! England were not the first football team to suffer a moment such as this and they certainly haven't been the last. Yes, refereeing howlers litter the history of our sport and no one is safe.
