Scored on his South China debut, 2nd half free kick!

 

I won't link the article as it has highlights on it, but the site boasts having over 100 great goals.

 

Newcastle reducer Nicky Butt make his debut for Hong Kong based outfit South China. And Butt’s debut was truly memorable as the usually goal-shy midfielder morphed into a set-play master to score a second half free-kick in a 2-1 victory.

 

Putting Butt’s goal-scoring debut into context, since the flame-haired enforcer first arrived on the scene way back in 1992 the former England international had chalked up just 29 goals in just under 440 career matches. In short, Butt is hardly prolific.

 

Nevertheless, Butt looked Zidane-esque against TSW Pegasus. Bald-headed and sitting in the middle of the pitch, Butt former life as a tough tackler seemed just a memory as the Englishman tried to play a more creative role for his new employers. Unsurprisingly ring-rusty, several of Butt’s attempted passes came to nothing. But early in the second period Butt did hit the target as his free-kick took a deflection and wrong-footed the Pegasus goalie.
