Guardian retrospective recalls six World Cup goals from 1958 to 2014

The Guardian published an article on June 12, 2026, highlighting goals scored by Ivor Allchurch, Andreas Ogris, Pierre Njanka, and others, with quotes from players and managers.

• Ivor Allchurch scored a volley for Wales against Hungary at the 1958 World Cup; Terry Medwin later scored the winner.
• Poland manager Antoni Piechniczek told his players before a 1982 group match that they would be dropped if they failed to win.
• Andreas Ogris scored a solo goal for Austria against the United States in 1990, and said he "just ran away" from defenders.
• Pierre Njanka scored a solo goal for Cameroon against Austria in 1998, and said he kept running because all his teammates were marked.
