Tim Cahill has done some amazing things in his career. Score at three different World Cups. Score at three different Asian Cups. Score goals in three different league competitions. But how about scoring his son an official Asian Cup 2015 ball before kick-off last Friday night?

The Hairdryer was standing just a few metres away at Melbourne's AAMI Park when Cahill produced an extraordinary piece of skill after hearing the cry of his son in the stand. The New York Red Bulls forward, having just completed his warm-up, looked up to the second tier and chipped a perfect pass to his progeny.

We were going to mention it before but thought nobody would believe us. However, Cahill himself found a video of the incident, which we understand he will upload to his Twitter account some time this week. It will be worth watching.
