Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

We’ve featured a number of examples of the skills that amputee footballers are capable of in these pages in the past, but one came to our attention today that probably exceeds anything that’s gone before.

Freestyle footballer Kieran Brown posted a vine of a one-legged footballer pulling off an outrageous rainbow flick in Oxford on Twitter recently and it’s as impressive as anything you’d see from showboating enthusiasts like Neymar and company.

Vine via Kieran Brown We don’t have a name for the footballer in question, but according to the England Amputee FA, he’s the current captain of the GBAF (Great Britain Amputee Football) amputee football development squad so his talent had obviously been recognised before he became an internet sensation today.

You have to say that’s magnificent.
