'It was a great moment' - Adomah on 100 goals

Adomah's first league goal was for Barnet in 2008

Albert Adomah has said it was a "great moment" to pass the milestone of 100 career goals in Walsall's 3-1 Vertu Trophy group stage victory at Shrewsbury Town.

The 37-year-old scored in the 67th minute in a result that sees the Saddlers go top of Southern Group C.

It's taken him 17 years and eight clubs, including Aston Villa, Middlesbrough and QPR, to reach his century.

The Ghanaian's first league goal was for Barnet at Hereford in January 2008. Adomah told BBC Radio WM: "I don't remember the first. I kept giving the ball away. It was one of my worst games."

As for Tuesday's achievement, he added: "I live and breath football. It was a great moment."

'I love working with him for a million reasons'

Walsall manager Mat Sadler was full of praise for his veteran forward.

"He's an unbelievable guy," said Sadler. "I love working with him for a million reasons. His ability, what an amazing footballer, and what a career he's had.

"I don't think we've had many people like him at the club. Fit as a butcher's dog, and he's got a drive and desire to keep going."

Adomah performed a headstand celebration after scoring his 100th career goal at Shrewsbury

Adomah adopted an 'old man' celebration in his 30s - impersonating an old man with a walking stick. On Tuesday, he followed his goal by recreating his former celebration, in which he stands on his head.

"Back in the day when I was at Villa, my daughter showed me how to do a proper headstand, as I used to fall over," said Adomah.

"I think my technique was 10/10. I thought if I score a goal, I'll do both to show people I can be old and young at the same time," he added with a laugh.
