Danny Rose is known for more than his first goal at Tottenham Hotspur, but that first goal was certainly a doozy. You all know it — North London Derby, 2010, Ohhhhhhhwhattagoooooal it’s Danny Rose on his Premier League debut with a memorable strike!
Danny never scored another goal as good as that one, and it didn’t matter. It was etched into Tottenham lore forever.
Jamie Donley just scored his Danny Rose Goal™ for Leyton Orient against Manchester City in the FA Cup. You have to watch this.
The sheer audacity for a 20-year-old Tottenham player on loan at Leyton Orient to even attempt a shot like that with Stefan Ortega off his line, much less for it to be THAT ACCURATE. It’s absolutely absurd. He took that shot from the CENTER CIRCLE and not only plonked it off the crossbar, but it went in.
Ok sure, the cynics will roll their eyes and say that actshually the goal was given as an Ortega own goal because it clipped off the crossbar and then Ortega’s back before going in. I call bullshit. That’s Jamie Donley’s goal and it always will be.
Leyton Orient may or may not win their FA Cup match over Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. Doesn’t matter. Jamie Donley will return to Tottenham after the end of this season but my guess is if he ever goes back to Leyton Orient he will never have to buy a drink ever again.
