He might be nearing the end of his career, but Ronaldinho will never stop trying new and cheeky things on the football pitch.

Playing for Mexican club Queretaro, the 35-year-old Brazilian flicked the ball out of the hands of Santos Laguna goalkeeper Agustin Marchesin and tapped it into the empty net. Sadly the referee did not see the funny side and disallowed the goal, as Queretaro lost the title play-off 5-3 on aggregate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I73P1Hwc6W4 Ronaldinho is not the first player to attempt to embarrass an opposing goalkeeper in this manner, and we've picked out some of our favourites. Neymar's effort against Real Sociedad this season was almost identical... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTn4rb1pFqM While Thierry Henry tried the same thing during his time at Arsenal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x73SRjWdrIA Former Nottingham Forest striker Gary Crosby was more creative with his attempt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y_IOU6Lb2g But top of our list has to be this 'he's behind you' effort from everyone's favourite daytime TV presenter Dion Dublin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UeNGCNE2E4
