Visit www.harrowboro.com for more, and much better-presented, information about the club. Eight goals were scored in this match - Harrow Borough beat Waltham Abbey 5-3 - but the only topic of conversation in the bar was the astounding miss by non-league legend, Rocky Baptiste. Thanks to Rocky for being a good sport in allowing me to post footage most people would have wanted to bury in the garden. I include an example of Rocky in more typical mode: scoring a goal. The five Boro' goals, and many others, can be found on the foolandhismonkey channel, right here on YouTube. (Some folks seem to be under the impression that the miss and the goal come from the same match. I would like to clarify that the miss is from the Waltham Abbey match on 28/11/2009, and came just as second-half injury time began, with Boro' already leading 5-3; the goal was scored in a 5-1 win in the FA Trophy 1Q replay against Soham Town Rangers on 20/10/2009, and was the first of Rocky's brace that night. I included the goal as an example of Rocky's capabilities, because although the miss is funny, I thought it only fair to show why he is so respected in football. Other examples of Rocky's goals are available on the foolandhismonkey channel - the injury time free-kick against Wealdstone is like Beckham v Greece! You might also like the Daniel Dyer (not that one!) Wonder Goal. Thank you, The Fool. p.s. Waltham are in white, and Soham are in green - footballers may be divas, but they don't often have costume changes during a match, ha ha). Want to watch Boro' in real life? The fixture list and other information is available at www.harrowboro.com I really was not expecting such a huge response to this video; thank you for watching, and I hope you have enjoyed it. Great goal, no? I would be very interested to learn about the reach of this video, so why not let me know where you are in the world, and how you came to learn about it? Thank you.
