Andy Westerman only joined Alltraders five a side team in July 2000, but he’s already a legend at the club. We’re proud to bring you a video clip of the wonder goal that made his name.

This January, Alltraders made it to the quarter final of the Crawley Winter Fives competition to face Cowboys and Indians, winners of the previous 9 competitions.

The capacity crowd of 4 were treated to a great game, including 3 cracking goals from Andy. The pick of them was a delightful lob from thirty yards out. Unfortunately it was straight into his own goal.

What should have been a gentle back pass instead soared "high into the night sky, sailing majestically in the gentle glow of the floodlights" and into the Alltraders' goal. Andy was later quoted as saying that the ball was caught by a "sudden gust of wind".

Though he went on to score two goals for his own team, Alltraders ending up losing 3-2 and being knocked out. The team are now eager to see if Andy can outdo himself in this season's Autumn fives, current being held at Crawley Leisure centre.

Sadly for Andy, this own-goal gaff made national headlines when it was picked up by Kevin Frances during his weekly review for the Daily Star! Click on the 'Daily Star' link on the left frame for all the details.
