Watch this 12-year-old goalkeeper scoring a David Beckham-style wonder goal
Incredible footage of the moment a 12-year-old goalkeeper scored a last-minute David Beckham-style winning goal from inside his own half has gone viral after been viewed millions of times.
Charlie Clarke netted the 60-yard wonder strike to send his club Gedling Southbank Panthers into the semi-finals of the cup on Sunday (20/3).
His team had been drawing 2-2 with Basford FC in the final minute when the young keeper bagged the winner with almost the last kick of the game.
Mobile phone footage filmed by dad Gary, 56, shows a long ball being played over the top causing Charlie to race from his own penalty box.
He then perfectly connects with the ball sending the strike soaring over the helpless overstretched arms of the opposition keeper and into the back of the net.
Dad Gary can even be heard urging his son "go on Charlie, hit it, hit it" before exclaiming in disbelief: "That's it...it's in, what a goal, what a goal."
Charlie is then swamped by his celebrating teammates as the last-gasp goal saw them triumph in the quarter-final round of the Yel Sunday Cup.
The 30-second clip has since been viewed more than a million times around the world after being uploaded to social media.
Charlie, who plays for the under 12's Nottingham-based side in the YEO Division Three League, said he knew his effort was going in as soon as it left his boot.
The Nottingham Forest fan said: ""I heard the ref say 'last minute of the game' and then I just went for power and tried to score.
"As soon as it left my foot I thought 'this is going in' and then it went in.
"I just went crazy with everyone running off the bench. I didn't think it was going to go that viral."
Video was filmed 20th March 2022.
