Kilkenny hurling legend Henry Shefflin scored a Panenka as his Southend United Legends side won a charity soccer match after a penalty shootout on St Stephen's Day.
The Legends team defeated a Southend U18 team in Ballyhale with the proceeds going towards Kilkenny Helping the Homeless.
To the delight of the crowd, 10-time Kilkenny All-Ireland winner and current Galway manager Shefflin dinked the ball down the middle of the goal as the keeper dived to his left.
Henry Shefflin hasn't lost that ruthless streak. 👀
