VIDEO: Irish footballer’s golazo would make one weep at its beauty

Kevin McGillicuddy

Safe to say Michael Doyle has hit more screamers than he’s won Ireland caps.

The 34-year-old midfielder made one international appearance in 2006, but since then he has scored two worldies we know of.

Doyle, who signed for Portsmouth last summer, scored a cracking goal for his club in their 3-1 win over Accrington Stanley last night.

And not only was it utter class, but it was the Dubliner’s first goal in over a year.

Some things are just worth waiting for.

He has form as this goal from 2013 proves.

But last night’s effort was arguably up a notch again. See it from 30 seconds in here.
