Funniest free kick fluff up you’ll see (Video)
The world has been blessed with outstanding individuals who can execute a devestating free kick; but rarely do you see one that becomes a viral sensation for all of the wrong reasons.
David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos are among the greatest ever free kick takers. However every team has that player who can strike a ball a little better and so is given the honour of controlling dead ball situations.
For Chelmsford City, this honour is given to Sam Corcoran.
Question. You’ve won a free kick in the opposing team’s half. A valid opportunity to have a quick rest before launching an attack. What’s the worst that could happen?
Nope. You’re not even close.
Feast your eyes on this free kick taken in a non-league game between Hayes & Yeading United and Chelmsford City.
During his run up to float the ball into the box, Corcoran slipped on top of the ball, knocking it a few feet towards a Hayes & Yeading player. With the majority of players flooded in the area in anticipation of the free kick, Chelmsford were horribly exposed and Hayes suitably capitilised – much to the embarrassment of Corcoran.
I doubt this is what he had in mind when he dreamed of his 15 minutes…
