'SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT' - Reaction as McBreen rolls back the years with a stunner

With one swing of that magic wand of left peg, 42-year-old Daniel McBreen sent FFA Cup viewers around the nation into meltdown.

But the veteran front man McBreen was having none of it. Only eight minutes later, the former Central Coast Mariner forgot about the calf injury that had kept him sidelined for a month, took aim and hit a thunderbolt.

Ernie Merrick's Jets may go on to claim the battle of the Hunter and book their place in the last eight of the FFA Cup - but one moment is etched in the minds of the viewers forever.
