It wasn't just the players who had their kicking boots on at the MCG on Saturday.
Bomber fan, Simon Smith, walked away $10,000 richer after kicking a goal from 50m out before the game to win the final round of 3 Mobile's 3 from 3 competition.
""It was a dream come true really,"" he said today.
""I was nervous walking out to kick but I wasn't nervous when I was taking the kick.
""It (the 50m attempt) looked good as soon as I kicked it and I was just hoping for a lucky bounce.
""From what I remember, it landed in the goal square and bounced on through which was great.""
What made the feat even more impressive was the fact he kicked the goal wearing sneakers.
""I actually don't have any footy boots so I went with the sneakers,"" he said.
""I will probably use the money to pay off the car and be responsible and save some for a house deposit.""
Since Simon is also a 3 Mobile customer he won the entire $10,000 plus a 3 mobile pre-paid Sony Ericsson K610i phone.
The gloves come off in this week’s episode of the cult Bomber.tv show Weekend Rewind. Former Premiership star, Paul Barnard, and fellow host, Simon Matthews continue their weekly slanging match but also find time to have a serious look back at the side's win over Collingwood with special guest David Myers.
