Ebbsfleet United’s Charlie Seaman unsure if spectacular volley in win over Hampton & Richmond Borough tops his greatest goals list

Charlie Seaman scored a wonder goal for Ebbsfleet last weekend - but wasn’t sure if it’s the best one of his career.

The 26-year-old wing-back chested Jake Hessenthaler’s through-ball and struck a first-time left-foot volley into the bottom corner during the Fleet’s 4-0 win over Hampton on Saturday.

“Mine was a great goal but I don’t want to take anything away from Ben Chapman,” he added.

“There’s goal-of-the-season and there’s having four or five goals-of-the-season in one year!

“He scored some outrageous goals this season and so has Toby Edser so among the
