Must say, in pure skill terms, this is an absolute joy to behold.......

Credit for what exactly? being lucky?

I will give him credit for trying it, but if him, me, you, and another dozen members of this board tried that tomorrow, 5 times each, we could score as much as him.

ARSE! That is why we are here discussing, perhaps, a moment of genius. That is a word used too much these days, but that piece of inspired thought has got him over 2,000,000 hits on youtube. So, hats off!

if you turn your back on a ball and back heel it, it;s no different from closing your eyes and booting it. 99 times out of 100 it will go in the stand. Hat;s off to him yes, but not a great goal IMO

Hurler on the Bitch · October 08, 2010, 11:04:59 PM

Aah! But he meant it as he turned and followed the ball with his eyes into the net!

Maybe you should watch his interview in the link you posted and stop talking shite

Intended or not... it couldn't have happened against a nicer shower

He tried it and it came off. Is every goal scored from a bicycle kick or back-heel a fluke? Brilliant goal.

Hoof Hearted · October 09, 2010, 12:13:06 PM

It just made the Showboat section of Soccer AM, with Helen Chamberlain saying it was the best goal she has ever seen !
