However a portly, unnamed YouTube star has shown that he may in fact be the world's leading expert.

The man has posted a compilation of clips which sees him show off his incredible technique of bending balls into the top corner.

His poor friend, who acts as a goalkeeper, has no chance of getting anywhere near his strikes at goal.

Even in-form Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea would struggle to keep his curling efforts from hitting the back of the net.

The video, which he has named 'Best knuckleballs & Curve shots from 2014', has over 105,000 views on YouTube.
