Here’s the moment where a football team carried the coffin of a teammate to their local pitch and let their deceased teammate score one last goal.
His teammates can be seen passing the ball around, throwing in one or two skills before squaring it across for the coffin at the far post. (Now there’s a line I never thought I’d type)

It’s not a tribute we’ve ever seen before. And whilst it’s unlikely to start a trend, it’s a thoughtful (if slightly strange) way to honor your football-mad friend.
Of course, very few goals have ever been scored without someone claiming that they didn’t count:
The ball is played forward. Pretty clearly offside. pic.twitter.com/VnRe67bDTj

Party pooper.
Whilst several touching tributes were paid, several just couldn’t hold back.
He’s buried that one there

Gives a whole new meaning to dead ball specialist

But we think that the whole thing was a great finish, in more than one sense.
