If I was ever fortunate enough to score a professional goal, I would fear for the safety of anybody within a 50-metre radius of my wild celebration.
Sure, I would try and pay homage to Alan Shearer’s one-arm salute (top Premier League scorer of all-time, show some respect), but I’d be frothing at the mouth within 10 seconds.
One man who seems to have the art of the cool celebration down to a tee is Kennedy Bakircioglu, a Swedish midfielder who turns out for Hammarby.
The 37-year-old is a club legend, and he further cemented that status with Monday’s cracking 25-yard free kick to help his team to a 3-0 victory over IFK Göteborg.
Sure, the goal was a goodie, but how about catching a beer on the run and chugging it back?

Even Brett Kavanaugh would be impressed with that effort.
Here’s another angle, with some revved-up Swedish commentary, and a slow-motion replay from the two-minute mark:
Still, as far as Scandinavian efforts go, Kennedy has some room for improvement. Never forget this effort from Icelandic outfit Stjarnan FC:
Magic.
