This isn't just good. It's so much better than that.

Over in Iceland last weekend, seventh-placed Stjarnan took on ninth-placed Fylkir in a match that really only one man and his dog would have cared one iota about. Ok, so that is a bit of an exaggeration, but the official attendance was a pathetic 624.

Few in number, they were about to witness something exceptional.

After falling behind on the stroke of half-time, Stjarnan turned the match around in the second half to win 2-1. The winner arrived in injury time as striker Halldor Orri Bjornsson netted a last-gasp 'Panenka' penalty, but it was the incredible goal celebration which will turn this video into a worldwide smash hit.

Aided by defender Johann Laxdal, who took the role as the fish, the Stjarnan squad at large produced what could well win the award as the best goal celebration of the 2010-11 season.

The brilliant footage can be seen below:
