Veteran Rocky Baptiste, 37, has now shot to worldwide fame after his amazing howler was dubbed the 'Miss of the Century'. The Harrow Borough striker rounded the keeper and cheekily walked the ball towards the unguarded net — before blasting it wide. Stunned Rocky watched open mouthed as the ball flew wide of the goal before meekly holding his hand up to apologise to his team-mates. Luckily for the player his team went on to beat Ryman League rivals Waltham Abbey 5-3 after his injury time miss in Saturday's match. Before the ill-fated game, the veteran centre forward had been known as a renowned hotshot in non-league — scoring 70 goals in 118 League appearances for old club Havant & Waterlooville. The footage has now stormed the internet, with soccer fans worldwide logging on to witness the balls up. The blooper has now replaced Liverpool star Ronny Rosenthal's legendary miss against Aston Villa in 1992 as the worst in football history.
