While the attention of many football fans has been on the World Cup in North America, the winning goal in a match much closer to home and involving a Powerchair Football team from Leeds has gone viral, being seen - so far - by nearly 40 million people worldwide.
The spectacular ******* ist which recently helped Leeds Powerchair FC score their third goal against Teesside PFC, and which saw the West Yorkshire club crowned FA Disability Cup winners, has since gained global attention.
The goal - dubbed by one newspaper as "Maradona-like" - saw Leeds PFC player Dylan Kelsall producing a 360-degree turn and pass before attacker Dan Rigby, 22, nudged the ball off his powerchair to score.
"I've enjoyed reading the names. Some have said Maradona. My personal favourite was Andreas Iniesta. It's great, why not?" smiles Kelsall.
The player, a member of England's Powerchair Football senior team, says the clip has gone "absolutely crazy".
