A lot of Newcastle United fans have responded to their club posting a video of an Obafemi Martins goal that happened 13 years ago today.
Newcastle beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-2, but it was the Nigerian’s wonder strike that will always be remembered.
Was this Martins' best goal for Newcastle?
Yes, absolute screamer
No, he scored better
Martins picked up the ball from James Milner, took a couple of touches, and advanced towards goal.
Tottenham thought they had forced him wide enough to avert the danger, but the former Inter Milan striker unleashed an absolute rocket that flew past Paul Robinson before he could even sniff it.
This video has gone down well on Twitter with many Toon fans.

What do we think?
This goal scored by Martins was recorded at 84mph as it hit the net, and it sent the away end into scenes of madness.
Martins joined the Toon in 2006 and went on to score 35 goals in 104 appearances before he left the club in 2009 after their relegation from the Premier League.
In his time with the club, Martins scored some special goals, but none were as good as this one.
It is a goal that will always be remembered on Tyneside for the sheer ferocity of the strike.
