Martyn Waghorn Arrives with Stunning Hat-Trick
Former Rangers and Derby County striker Martyn Waghorn isn't ready to hang up his boots just yet. The 35-year-old forward came out of retirement to join N5 FC, managed by Arsenal Invincibles Jens Lehmann, Robert Pires and YouTuber Eman SV2, and he's already making headlines in Baller League Season 2.
In their matchup against John Terry's 26ers, Waghorn proved he's still got it, smashing in three goals to lead N5 FC to victory. His performance wasn't just about the goals, it was about the quality. Each finish showcased the kind of clinical striking that saw him score 44 goals for Rangers and become a Championship regular during his career. The TikTok highlight reel titled "Martyn Waghorn is a serious baller" immediately went viral, picking up 20,800 likes and 517 shares in just hours. Comments flooded in with fans hyping up his movement, finishing, and the fact that he's playing with the same hunger he had in his prime.
Waghorn made his professional debut at just 17 against Manchester United, with manager Roy Keane predicting he'd have "a long and successful career". He went on to play over 500 senior matches across clubs like Leicester City, Rangers, Ipswich, Derby, and Coventry. Now, he’s in Baller League and showing that class is permanent. With performances like this, N5 are positioning themselves as genuine title contenders. If Waghorn keeps this up, he might just add a Baller League trophy to his impressive career achievements.
