A Kent footballer says he was shocked to find a video of him slipping over on the pitch had been watched more than 600,000 times - but doesn't mind as his team went on to win 7-1.

Sport Bible - 'liked' by more than nine million Facebook users - was one of a number of sites to share the footage of Faversham Town footballer Kieron Campbell.

Kieron, 21, who has played for the team since last year, said: "I went in for a dribble but in a different way and ended up flipping over.
