Senegal hotshot hopes to break England hearts at World Cup 2022 after rise from Non-league

Most goals are unremarkable, but there are always a few that stick in our minds.

For me, one such goal happened during a Championship game between Sheffield United and Blackburn a few months ago. Blades star Iliman Ndiaye won the ball in the middle of his own half and started running at a worried defence. He went past one player, then another before curling in a left-footed effort from the edge of the box.

Sitting in Bramall Lane's South Stand, which is named after Sheff Utd's greatest ever player Tony Currie, I couldn't help but think I was watching another legend in the making. Yet I was also worried that a Premier League club would poach Ndiaye if he did the business for Senegal in Qatar. Now, I'm worried that he'll end England's World Cup dream on Sunday.
