'The worst miss I've ever seen' - footballer's open-goal howler from two yards

  • 7 years ago
Is this the worst open-goal miss in amateur football history?

Playing in the Midland Football League Division One match between Heather St Johns FC and Coventry Alvis, Simeon Cobourn misses an open goal from close range, blasting over the bar from two yards out when it seemed easier to score.

"It's the worst miss I've ever seen," says our filmer/commentator, and he's seen a few.

Thankfully for Cobourn the miss didn't count for too much - Heather ran out 4-0 winners in the match that took place on November 14.

According to one match report, the attendance was 34.
