Paul Stratton, Everton supporter, can tell his grandchildren: he scored a goal for the Toffees.
So yes, it was in a friendly match and yes, the Dynamo kyiv goalkeeper didn't even pretend to try to stop him.
But he had deserved it.
The former police officer was launched by Frank Lampard at the very end of the game, when Everton were already leading 3-0, in thanks for helping Ukrainian refugees.
In March, he traveled to the Polish town of Przemysl with his brother to deliver food to refugees.
