I apologise if this has been mentioned before, but I have only just found out.
That the headline " Going Ballistic etc. " in respect of Calley's defeat of Celtic , was not original. )
Apparently, it was based on a lesser known headline from the 1970s, also football related. That version relates to Liverpool’s Ian Callaghan playing a blinder in a victory over QPR: ‘
"Super Cally Goes Ballistic, QPR Atrocious’."
note. Ian Callaghan played more times for Liverpool than anyone else
