The doubly-determined Okocha left Berkovic and Kevin Horlock on their backsides before turning and shooting wide then produced a stunning pass to tee-up the turbo-charged Bernard Mendy for a screaming shot that singed Schmeichel's fingertips before skimming the crossbar. www.thisislancashire.co.uk /lancashire/bolton/wanderers/WANDSBZ0.html   (1007 words)
