golden moment
The crowd went crazy this week as the Socceroos qualified for their sixth FIFA World Cup.
It was all thanks to a last-minute substitute, backup goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne, who held off Peru in a penalty shootout.
With his Wiggles dance moves and hilarious reaction to the win, it was heartwarming.
Redmayne’s wife, Caitlin, revealed the sweet reason behind his crazy post-match party in an interview with the Nine Network.
“It was a tribute to our little girl Poppy,” she said.
“That face of his that he makes always lights up her face. I’m sure that was for her; it wasn’t just him pulling that crazy face. That was quite special. Look at that face; you couldn’t love it.”
We can’t wait to see the Socceroos continue to score goals in Qatar in November, with hopefully many more heartwarming moments like this one!
Give this man a Logie!
Redmayne wasn’t the only man to go viral for his post-match shenanigans.
In Melbourne’s Federation Square, ABC presenter Tony Armstrong could barely contain his excitement when the news broke.
Armstrong was overrun by dozens of Socceroos footballing supporters, who jumped in excitement, kissed the camera lens, and even grabbed the presenter’s scarf (which was hand-knitted by his mother).
LuckilyHe on Twitter that he was reunited with his scarf (phew).
It’s sure to be a big week for Armstrong, who has been nominated for the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent at the Lodge, with the awards ceremony taking place this Sunday.
Stop embarrassing me, Dad.
It turns out that all kids are incredibly ashamed of their parents, even if their parents are music legends Jay-Z and Beyonce.

Hands off!
While Robert Irwin got away unscathed from this wombat encounter, the same can’t be said for his iPhone.
