Getting your player ready...
Argentine soccer player Gaston Aguirre killed a pigeon with a single shot — right off his foot. “I kicked the ball and, poor pigeon,” the San Lorenzo defender said. “Now I will be remembered as the pigeon killer.” Aguirre hit the bird in a 2-1 victory over Tigre. Surrounded by opponents, he kicked the ball toward the goal and in the direction of a group of pigeons near the corner. A burst of feathers followed and the pigeons flew away — except one. Several players surrounded the bird as it tried to fly away but it collapsed. Referee Saul Laverni then scooped up the dead pigeon and placed it off the field. The Associated Press
