Former England international David Platt, now a coach at Manchester City, has become a YouTube video sensation after scoring a superb overhead bicycle kick.

Filmed at an open training session in the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur ahead of Man City's pre-season friendly against a Malaysia XI, Roberto Mancini's coaching staff were involved in a five-a-side game.

And Platt brought back images of his World Cup ’90 stunner against Belgium as he rolled back the years with an exquisite overhead bicycle kick.

It was all in a day's work for the 46-year-old, however, as he refused to celebrate his brilliant strike.

Sergio Aguero was certainly impressed though...and so were we!
