Supporters of West Ham United have been swooning over footage of a goal scored by Anton Ferdinand which was posted to Twitter.
On Wednesday, the Hammers posted footage of the club’s former defender scoring a goal from outside of the box on the turn (per West Ham), which fans loved.
No words do this justice. An utterly ridiculous strike from @anton_ferdinand ?

Would you take a prime Anton Ferdinand back in the current West Ham squad?No, he wasn't good enough
Yes, he was a solid player

The screamer from Ferdinand was the opening goal in a 2-1 victory over Fulham at Upton Park in January of 2006 (per BBC).
With many having fond memories of the now-35-year-old’s goal against the Cottagers, they continued airing their love for the footage after it was posted by the Hammers.
That home game against Fulham saw West Ham produce two incredible, goal of the season contender goals from both Anton Ferdinand and Yossi Benayoun. Both goals fully deserved to be in a winning effort. Top quality goals.

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from West Ham supporters, they clearly enjoyed the trip down memory lane with the footage that was posted by the club.
The goal is even more impressive when considering that it is one of only five goals that the centre-back netted for the Hammers in 160 appearances (per Transfermarkt).
