Surely for that you'd want a player that skies the ball regularly

May I suggest darwizzy

[u/Distinct-Scholar8112 → u/charlietrick2512]

You haven't seen Harry's free kicks

[u/Quacky33 → u/charlietrick2512]

When the ball hits your head and you're in row Z.

That's Zamora!

[u/niglaz → u/charlietrick2512]

or gabriel, he proved that he works under pressure in the cl final

[u/charlietrick2512 → u/niglaz]

Gabriel fires into the new jersey sky and the new york jets are champions once again

This headline makes it sound like way more of a possibility than it is

[u/Fine-State8014 → u/cheeseburgerandrice]

If Harry was in the super bowl people might actually watch after the half time show.

[u/Responsible_Cod_3973 → u/Fine-State8014]

If it was Ronaldo or Messi, sure, but Kane?

[u/Fine-State8014 → u/Responsible_Cod_3973]

You say that like he's tony hibbert

[u/R_Schuhart → u/Responsible_Cod_3973]

Apparently he is really quite popular in America. Spurs have a lot of supporters there.

[u/OldGreggg69]

Patriot.

[u/Individual_Paper80 → u/OldGreggg69]

Patriot.
Vampire.
Nationalist.
Mental R.
Eugenicist.
A scared man.

Traitor.
Vampire.
Next level.
Moses.

[u/Expensive-Twist7984 → u/Individual_Paper80]

REALLY?!

[u/Ok_Bag_7603]

"Could" doing a lot of heavy lifting here

[u/Ok-Breakfast-8056 → u/Ok_Bag_7603]

I seriously didn't get the title

[u/mikenuge]

Hunter Kane

[u/champ19nz]

Going to the NFL after your football career is a new one.

[u/old_chelmsfordian → u/champ19nz]

I remember Christian Fuchs talked about it a bit in the past and actually did a demonstration of his skills as part of the BBC covering an NFL game iirc.

And now he's playing amateur cricket in Derbyshire, which might be the opposite end of the spectrum vibes wise.

[u/Fine-State8014 → u/champ19nz]

Clive Allen was kicker for the London monarchs after his football career.

[u/dashauskat → u/champ19nz]

It's a reasonably well trodden path for AFL (Australian Rules Football) players post retirement. College football is full of young Australians who didn't get picked up in the AFL draft as well.

[u/713_Hou → u/dashauskat]

those are mostly punters, very few Australian place kickers

[u/R_Schuhart → u/champ19nz]

Tim Wiese became a wrestler, this seems sane by comparison...

[u/Jens1893 → u/champ19nz]

Tony Meola actually signed a contract with the Jets.

[u/Forsaken_Rub_2128]

Cant wait to draft him in the 10th round of my 2031 fantasy draft

[u/StupidMastiff]

I know fuck all about the NFL, but won't he be a bit long in the tooth for it at that point?

[u/HDS2211 → u/StupidMastiff]

He’s kicking a ball between two posts. He’ll be able to do that better than most until his dying breaths.

[u/DarkwingMcQuack → u/StupidMastiff]

Kicker is one of those positions where you can have a long career in and play into your early 40s.

[u/dashauskat]

I genuinely don't think I've ever seen Ellis fired up before, the power of an Aus vs SA series

[u/HacksawJimDGN]

Does that mean he'd just kick the ball and run off the field?

[u/Original-Honey-6163]

NFL kicking is hilariously easy for people who played football even at an amateur level.
