Football: Top 10 outrageous free-kick routines

Borehamwood vs Arsenal

In this cheeky attempt during a non-competitive game between the two teams, three Borehamwood players gather around the ball before the taking of the kick. One of them picks it up with his hands and shifts it to his left, thereby changing the angle. The actual taker then strikes the ball and lands it in the back of the net.

There are doubts though if this would be allowed in a competitive game.

David Nugent against Burnley

Preston were in need of something special during their Lancashire derby match against Burnley. And they got just that, when two of the Preston players work together to lift a ball into Burnley’s penalty area for David Nugent to run onto and score on the turn.

How good is that!
