Watford Academy goalkeeper coach Adrian Creamer helped the nation of Guam to their first ever World Cup qualifying match win earlier today.

The tiny island nation, found in the Western Pacific, were 1-0 winners over Turkmenistan as they hosted their first World Cup match.

The Stanmore College lecturer, from South Oxhey, was contacted by Guam manager Gary White in preparation for two friendlies back in March and has stayed on to offer his goalkeeping coaching expertise.

Turkmenistan’s Serdar Annairazov put into his own net for the game’s only goal as Guam went top of Group D in the Asian qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.

Speaking from Guam via twitter this evening, Creamer called the result "incredible" and said: "We dominated the first half and scored early. Doug Herrick made an incredible save just before half time and that was a significant moment in the game.

"In the second half we were disciplined and held out for the win which put us top of Group D.

"India is the next fixture on Tuesday - that should be interesting. They have a population of 1.2 billion compared to 200,000 in Guam but we were really want six points from these two games."

Creamer reflected: "It is amazing to be part of history today in Guam securing their first ever World Cup qualifying win. The set up is so professional and attention to detail is paramount."

The goalkeeper coach has also written a World Cup song for the qualifying campaign with his good friend Ronan MacManus, the brother of Elvis Costello, and he said it is going down a "storm" on the island, adding: "It is on the TV and radio and was played throughout the day at the stadium and is becoming an intergral part of the Guam FA."

Guam has a population of less than 200,000 and last played a World Cup match back in 2000, losing 16-0 to Tajikistan.

They are currently ranked 174th in the Fifa world rankings, with opponents Turkmenistan one ahead at 173.
