To some extent Diego Maradona's Hand of God goal against England in 1986 overshadowed the famous 'Goal of the Century' which he netted four minutes later.

We've all seen the footage where he beats a flock of English defenders in the haze of the Mexican heat before slipping the ball past Peter Shilton and into the net.

Fast forward more than 20 years and on a field in Leixlip, a Bohemians youth player  took down a goal kick in midfield and instead of passing it, he let his silky skills tell his team-mates that he could take it from there.

The video was reportedly filmed four years ago but it only seems to have come to light now.

And although it's not quite the same trajectory as the Maradona dribble, it's a fine solo goal nonetheless.
