Remember that incredible headed goal from the halfway line in the Norwegian league a few weeks back? Well forget all about it - we've found an even more impressive effort.

Sorry, Jone Samuelsen of Odd Grenland, though your header had us gasping, we simply can't get over the new world record for a long-range header. Take a bow, Ryujiro Ueda of Fagiano Okayama.

Ueda hit an incredible header from 58.6 metres out from the Yokohama FC goal in a weekend J-League second division fixture, beating Samuelsen's previous record of 57.3 metres, set only a month ago.

"[After I cleared the ball] I was focused on getting back to my position," said Ueda post-game. "I didn't notice until after it had gone in."

So if you're looking for the craziest most impressive goals you'll ever likely to see, cancel your Norwegian football TV subscription and suss out the best J-League second division deals instead.
