Niall Burke > Gianfranco Zola.
Whatever they’re feeding them in Swords, we hope there’s enough to go around.
An under-16 match produced pure magic when a young man’s audacious effort scaled over 30 yards and picked out the top corner in truly spectacular fashion.
Niall Burke of Coláiste Choilm hit a stunning free kick for Swords Celtic as they came from behind to beat Rivervalley Rangers 3-2 despite having leaked a two-goal deficit.
And it was the left back’s set piece that brought the sides level again at two apiece when he did his best Gianfranco Zola imitation of when the Chelsea legend whipped one into the postage stamp against Spurs.
But could Zola do it in the under-16 B League in Swords?
Niall Burke can. And, in his own words, “I don’t practice them much at all.”
Do you believe him?
