Steve Jones, playing in the Galaxy alumni game (retired Galaxy players and famous guests play this match every year) scored one of the most hilarious goals I've seen for a while.
SJ has put on considerable weight since his rocker days. He wasn't doing much as a lone forward for the White team, while Mauricio Cienfuegos helped put his Green team ahead. They were leading, 2-0, when Mark Semioli tried to clear a cross the keeper had missed that was bending towards the goal line.
SJ was making a run, and the ball hit him square in his oversize belly. It bounced into the goal before Semioli could recover.
The goal celebration consisted of SJ grabbing his tummy with both hands and shaking it vigorously in triumph. The press box, needless to say, was in stitches. We're thinking of voting Steve's belly Man of the Match.
Update: Well, we got close. SJ got man of the match. He seemed very pleased. His gut had no comment.
