Port Vale star scores perfect Paolo Di Canio volley on 22nd anniversary of iconic strike

Paolo Di Canio's sumptuous scissor kick volley against Wimbledon in 2000 remains one of the stand-out goals in Premier League history.

It not only scooped the Match of the Day goal of the season award for 1999-2000 but in 2016 it was voted the best goal ever scored at the Hammers' Upton Park stadium in their final season there.

Saturday saw the 22nd anniversary of the wonder goal - and a League Two centre-forward saw fit to pay proper tribute to the Italian. Port Vale's Jamie Proctor unleashed his very own karate kick-style effort in his team's 2-0 win over Sutton United.
