Aghyaran GAA goalkeeper Benny Gallen completed an absolute rarity in the world of GAA: A goalkeeper scoring a goal.
Rory Beggan and Niall Morgan have made it more popular for goalkeepers to stray away from their nets and finish off some attacks but Gallen took their attack to another level when he finished off a move he started from the back.
Serious question – Has a GAA keeper ever scored a goal from play before? 🤴🏾@bgallen10 @AghyaranGFC pic.twitter.com/v6uQxtfVEy

Gallen has developed a steady reputation as a scorer for Aghyaran with the former Tyrone minors shotstopper racking up the points for his club in 2017.
Aghyaran goalkeeper Benny Gallen lands a 45. He's kicked 28 league points for Aghyaran in 2017. Surely a record for any keeper in Ireland?
