An iconic Wiggles dance has proven once again to be the secret weapon of Andrew Redmayne, whose iconic jig has helped secure the Socceroos' place at the World Cup finals.
Redmayne saved Peru's sixth penalty after executing a lively Hot Potato dance across the goals, which eventuated in Australia claimingthe match 5–4.
Having been brought in just moments before full time, replacing captain Maty Ryan, Redmayne's unique flare was a major defining moment for the team.
Unsurprisingly, the dance and subsequent win sent fans into a full-blown frenzy.
"You big bearded sexy Wiggle!!! F***ing get in!!!! Great call Arnie [coach Graham Arnold]," former professional footballer Daniel McBreen tweeted.
Redmayne adopted a similar tactic during an A-League Grand Final 2019 in Perth, when his save in a dramatic penalty shootout saw his Sydney team claim victory over the locals at Optus Stadium.
Sydney won 4–1 in the shootout despite not scoring a single shot on target during 120 minutes of play.
Superb result for the Socceroos this morning beating Peru to qualify for the World Cup. Big effort by Andrew Redmayne to save that penalty. Also how about his goal mouth dancing! pic.twitter.com/ilJdMfe6hY
