'Irish Maradona' hailed as solo score goes viral

A score from a 2009 Bohs v Leixlip underage tie has been lighting up the internet, described as "the greatest solo goal ever scored in amateur football".

We're all used to seeing clips on YouTube of spectacular goals from the likes of Leo Messi (happy birthday, Leo) and that Swedish lad with the hair, but it's not often that a score from the lower leagues of Irish amateur footy makes the grade.

However the below score from a 2009 U17 game between Bohemians and Leixlip Utd has clocked up over 600,000 views online in recent days after it was picked up by some viral video sites in the UK.
