23-year-old Scottish goalkeeper Mark Oxley has been a professional soccer player since 2007. He's played in 44 games for six different teams—he joined Hull City in 2008 and has since been loaned out to four different clubs. The kid's a nomad. Today, however he pulled some crazy shit that will definitely get him noticed by the Tigers' mother club.
Hibernian and Livingston kicked off their Scottish Premier League campaigns against each other today. In the 16th minute, with the score tied at 1-1, Hibernian's brand new keeper punted a clearance upfield. It bounced past two defenders on the edge of the penalty area and then took a marvelous bounce over Livingston goalkeeper Darren Jamieson. It took goalkeeper Mark Oxley 16 whole minutes to score his first Hibernian goal—and a winner at that.
Check out his postgame interview below.
