Your support makes all the difference.West Ham United goalkeeper scored one of the most spectacular goals of all time when he dribbled the length of the pitch to score at Upton Park on Bank Holiday Monday.
Perhaps that's a slight exaggeration.
Playing in Mark Noble's testimonial match against West Ham stars of the past, the popular goalkeeper recreated a scene straight out of a video game.
He did get a bit of help from former West Ham players, inclduing Paolo Di Canio, current manager Slaven Bilic and former Engand captain Rio Ferdinand, who pretty much let him stroll the length of the pitch almost unchallenged.
Clearly tired by the time he got into the opposition box, Adrian almost fluffed his lines with a weak shot aimed straight at David James - the former England No 1 pretty much diving out of the way to allow the ball to go in.
See the video here:
The current West Ham team lead 4-1 at half-time at the time of writing.
Craig Bellamy put the All-Stars in the lead before two strikes from Noble, the Adrian goal and another from Diafra Sakho had the current stars in control.
