Sport Bible features Faversham Town Football Club

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.

"It actually quite hurt at the time, but I didn't want to come off so I stayed on and I'm glad I did.

"I went on to score two goals. There's a video of one of them and that has gone viral too!

"It's really exciting but a bit of a shock. When I fall over at football, I never expected it to go so viral."

The team were playing Chatham in Ryman League Divison 1 South at the Shepherd Neame Stadium when they had a staggering 7-1 victory.
