Video | Goalkeeper scores from 107 yards

Ashton was the star during the Northern Premier League side's  FA Cup second round match against League One high-flyers Brighton earlier this season, saving a late penalty to earn his side a replay.

Now, he has gone one better - by scoring an incredible goal from within his own penalty box.

When Ashton's team-mate Scott McManus passed the ball back to him during a league match against Retford, the keeper easily kicked a clearance ball up the pitch.

But to the astonishment of fans and players alike, the ball flew upfield - helped by a strong breeze - and bounced clean over the head of Ashton's opposite number before running in for an outlandish goal that was later measured at 107 yards.

FC United went on to win the match 4-0.
