Marcin Oleksy

The Polish amputee’s scissor kick for Warta Poznan beat out some top talent for the award.

“My teammate Dawid [Novak] played the pass. When I saw him approaching the ball, I knew it was coming to me. I connected really cleanly. It was pure,” said Oleksy on the goal.

“When I hit it, I was following the ball all the way with my eyes and I saw it go into the corner of the net. I always wanted to score a beautiful goal. You could see how proud it made me after I scored. I stood up tall, I put my chest out. I was just so, so happy.”

He beat Marseille captain Dimitri Payet’s long-range strike in the Europa Conference League and Richarlison’s acrobatic volley against Serbia at the World Cup.
