One flip, two flip, three flip, four flip, five flip, six flip
Style - 5
 Technique - 5 Originality - 5 Don't try it at home - 5 This bloke is flipping crazy - it's official. Six flips and a double somersault - and that was after scoring a simple tap-in in a friendly against Scotland. Imagine what he would do if he banged in a 30-yard left-foot volley winner in the last minute of the World Cup final.... The Nigerian gymnastics coach would be onto a dead-cert gold medal if the striker turned out for the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004. He would be a natural on the vault and floor - surely a perfect 10 every time? And the nifty Nigerian could be somersaulting his way to a Premiership club near you in the future. Aghahowa is not too crazy about his Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk and a move to England could well be on the cards. Chelsea full-back Celestine Babayaro would be hoping his international team-mate would join him at Stamford Bridge and pass on a few acrobatic tips. Babayaro once embarrassingly injured himself after a tumbling celebration in a pre-season friendly against Stevenage. Not one to tell the grandkids.
