Sam Merson, 29, plays for Hanworth Villa in the 15th tier of English football.
The ace is the kid of former England and Arsenal star Paul.
He scored 157 goals during a glittering career for club and country.

And in one smooth movement, he then unleashed a rocket of a volley which fired over the goalie into the back of the net.
Merson’s goal sparked wild celebrations among fans and teammates alike.
