Funny Football Stuff

Here at funny football stuff we love funny goal celebrations and this fishing inspired celebreation is a real beauty! Things have come a long way since Roger Milla wiggled his hips down by the corner flag in the World Cup of 1990! No longer is a mere dance good enough for some football players as Icelandic top flight side Stjarnan prove here in their game against Fylkir.


With the game seemingly heading for a 1-1 draw, the home side were awarded a penalty in the dying moments.

Up stepped Halldór Orri Björnsson to score with a delightful chip over the keeper. While it was undeniably a fine strike, if some way off the best penalty ever.

But the goal will be remembered for what followed - a beautifully choreographed manoeuvre in which Björnsson cast an imaginary fishing rod before 'reeling in' team-mate Daníel Laxdal.

The 'fish' was then picked up by several members of the team and held aloft as if he were a trophy, while another team-mate 'took a photo' for posterity. Stjarnan held on to win the match 2-1.
