Steve Sidwell’s Assist From The Bench 😮

Former English Premier League Midfielder Steve Sidwell retells the time he helped Aston Villa score a goal when he was warming up on the bench. Sidwell quickly grabbed an out of bounds ball and threw it to teammate Gabriel Agbonahlor for a quick throw in which led to a James Milner goal in a 3-0 victory against Hull City in 2009. #shorts #football #soccer #premierleague #epl #sports #story #funny

That’s not an assist then lol

[@georgia9500]

he's obviously not being 100% serious...

[@thomasjamison8460]

Making an impact on the game from off the pitch is crazy.

[@Burner39]

Ball boys literally do this every season.

[@flowen_music]

@@Burner39a good ball boy can be worth a good 10-15 points a season

[@antonyallen8025]

Steve assisted the assist-well

[@robbiestrong6398]

Took impact sub to a different level

[@ifyouarefeelingsinister]

Man you’d ought to tell the ball boys, there must be some with record Premiership ‘assists’ 🙄

[@petegonad]

I got 8 assists from row C, seat 112 in one season. 8 times I shouted “shoot”, the player did and it went in.

[@SVNT0]

Absolute legend.

[@danielrhodes4023]

Fantastic 😂😂😂

[@richardharris3449]

Not an assist, gabby passed it on. Nice story though

[@IrishBorussen]

Exactly 😂 a pre-assist at best

[@Arezz10]

Hockey assist

[@bazrfc123]

He made an impact

[@rew0rked]

yeah i think he’s stretching it a little but its class, proper football

[@MatthewHaddon-eq6gq]

I remember that goal so well, UTV

[@yamyam3407]

You mean gabby got the assist

[@leightonmilton5162]

So he didn’t get an assist. He literally said Gabby passed it in on

[@imemine8605]

I scored in the cl final i shouted shoot from my chair

[@chris4831]

Ball boy sidwell

[@Dannygsbicep]

That my friend ain’t an assist

[@garfitz8358]

An assist of the assist give over

[@xenobenoit]

Pre assist from mourinho’s number 9

[@petegonad]

So, didn’t then.

[@imeldawilliams1982]

Right place Right time??? BOLLOCKS!!! That was absolutely formulated on the training ground!!! And I'm speaking from the school of "trust me bro"

[@stuartenglish5088]

It's not actually an assist then??? If that's the case then how many ball boys have assists....

[@georgia9500]

he's joking ??? its tongue in cheek... crazy how many comments are taking him literally. gabby couldn't throw it to himself anyway so impossible.

[@leeofdoom4452]

This is a crazy story,, man acted like a volunteer 12 year old ball boy and wants praise hahahaha

[@IlariLehtonen-oo8mv]

Ive wondered why ball boys arent taught this. To read the game and if it looks like a quick throw in would give an advantage give the ball quickly to your team. And dont give it quickly to the oposing team if the situation is reversed.

[@Sasso-pf1mo]

Wow a professional footballer doesn't know what an assist actually is😂

[@KrisMoody-mf3ul]

not assist 🙈 & you did nothing apart from the blatant obvious, nothing vid

[@thanos7753]

The goal wouldn't have happened if he didn't do that. It's not a legal assist but for all intents and purposes it is a great assist to a goal.

[@bryankelly9998]

That’s not an assist mate

[@georgia9500]

he's not serious mate

[@alfiemerrett6137]

I once got an assist, I put the ball on the centre circle to kick off and in the 87th minute our striker scored

[@vinnydurham8964]

Maybe subs should be ball boys

[@adamryan4317]

Soft lad, the player who threw the ball to James m, gets the assist 🤣🤣

[@123nofucksgiven]

True definition of impact sub great work😂

[@stivib5937]

What a goal
