He struck his team’s second goal of the Southern League premier division south game four minutes before half-time.

The home goalkeeper came out of his area to head clear and the ball bounced just inside the Borough half.

Barker immediately returned a stunning shot over his head and into the net.

The likes of David Beckham and Xabi Alonso have famously scored wonder goals of this ilk and Gosport player-manager Craig McAllister lauded Barker’s effort.

He said: ‘It is probably the best I've seen.

‘If anyone is going to score a goal like that then it will be George.

‘He has great technique and certainly has that kind of goal in his locker.’
