German soccer legend Miroslav Klose is still playing for Italian club Lazio at the relatively ancient age of 34 years old.

He earned himself all sorts of karma on Tuesday when he admitted to the referee that he scored a goal with an illegal hand ball. His team went on to lose 3-0.

Here's the video or the goal, the initial outrage, and finally the Napoli players (in light blue) all hugging Klose in appreciation.

You can see Klose walking toward the ref before it cuts to replay at the 29-second mark, and a crystal-clear shot of the hand ball at the 55-second mark:

Well done to him. Nice to see and if only everyone played in such a spirit.

I'm sure the buck-toothed snide would do likewise.

Klose is a class act both with his ability as a Footballer and sportsman.

Shouldnt of handballed it in the first place

It was probably just an instant reaction, wouldn't blame him over that.

I just find it funny how the Napoli players are berating him with real vigour, then when he gets a chance to talk to the referee and admits it they are all hugging him and patting him on the head. Again, natural reaction in todays game but funny to see the total contrast.

Referee had no idea what was happening!

Well done to him for owning up.

 

[sotnas]

Is it me or he did celebrate his goal before all the fuss from the Napoli players?

Top class my royal back bottom!
