DO YOU KNOW THE PLAYER NICKNAMED ''CASQUE D'OR'' FOR HIS PENCHANT FOR SCORING LAST MINUTE HEADERS?

Antoine Kombouaré earned the nickname of "Casque d'Or", which means "Golden Helmet" in French because of his penchant for netting tie-deciding headers. He displayed this in in the 1992/1993 season for Paris Saint-Germain FC's UEFA Cup campaign against Real Madrid CF of Spain in the quarter final where he headed a dying seconds goal to secure a 4-1 victory. Kombouaré had already scored a decisive goal in similar circumstances against RSC Anderlecht in the previous round.
