A postman doing his rounds had a moment of glory when he skillfully kicked a football thrown by a lad called Connor and flipped it back into the trampoline where he was playing
Incredible CCTV shows a postman who has "still got it" after he effortlessly kicked a football on his rounds and booted it into a trampoline.
The footage, recorded on July 24 in Bolton, shows postman Charlie Flaherty walking down a garden path with his arms full of mail.
A lad called Connor is throwing footballs from inside a netted trampoline and one of the balls bounces off the wall of the house just as Charlie is pushing the mail through the letterbox.
Charlie spins around and kicks the bouncing ball once up into the air and then deftly boots it a second time.
The ball then flies with expert precision back towards Connor who – to his own credit – catches it neatly in his hands.
Connor's mum Ally uploaded the clip on Facebook with the caption: "Ha what a shot from our postman today."
The clip was watched 5,000 times on the social media site but then went viral with 700,000 views and 40,000 likes when it was shared on Twitter by Charlie.
He tweeted: "As a postman, you never stop delivering. Still got it."
One person commented: "Fairly impressive that tbf [to be fair]. Sadly I’d have probably kicked it onto the road and caused untold damage."
A second user joked: "As a postman myself, had a few stray footballs come my way too.
"I keep it simple though, nice simple pass back with the side of the foot.
