Robo Neck Muscles +1: Papiss Cisse Scores Epic Long-Range Header vs Ivory Coast (Video)
By Chris Wright
Everybody loves a good long-range header, and Papiss Cisse’s cracker for Senegal against the Ivory Coast on Saturday evening is definitely worthy of a shufty.
With a ball slung long upfield and dropping over Cisse’s shoulder, the Newcastle striker perfectly timed his leap, powered up his roboneck and sent a beaut of a header over the ‘keeper from outside the area…
Senegal were still on the sharp end of a 4-2 whupping, but Cisse has now finally broken his 2012/13 scoring duck – which can only be good news as far as Newcastle are concerned.

But Cisse did score in a Europa League game this season.
I once scored a header from the halfway line with Flemming Povlsen on Sensible Soccer. Greatest goal I’ve ever scored.
Wow! He has scored some amazing goals now hasn’t he?

I actually think he can score from any position with any body part. He could probably score a screamer from the centre circle with his buttocks if he wanted to.
