Asa did not score the winning goal in the 1985 League Cup Final. His attempt at goal was SIGNIFICANTLY deflected into his own goal by Gordon Chisholm, who is unfortunatley, but rightly credited with the goals in all records.

Gordon Chisholm (born April 8, 1960 in Glasgow, Scotland) is a former professional footballer and is currently the manager of Scottish First Division club Queen of the South from Dumfries.

[edit] Playing career Chisholm started his career at Sunderland where he spent seven years and was a member of the side that reached the final of the Football League Cup in March 1985, where they lost 1-0 to Norwich City. Unfortunately for Chisholm, he deflected Asa Hartford's shot into the net for Norwich's winning goal. He moved back to Scotland later that year, when he joined Hibernian. He later had spells at Dundee and Partick Thistle.

Asa was his second batpismal name, not a nickname. So you shoudk list him as Richard Asa Hartford, not just Richard Hartfpord. Which means you should leave out the inverted commas round Asa. Using inverted commas here is like using them for Jospeh 'Kevin' Keegan. They're two of the many men known by their second christian names. Hartford was apparently named after Al Jolson, whose real first name was Asa.
