Goldstein, who is 25 and teaches Business Studies at Yavneh College, registered in the 4-0 win over Wales, which followed victories over Scotland and Northern Ireland in the four-team tournament.

He was joined in the England squad by ProFutsal team-mate Jon Kurrant, who like Goldstein, played in all three matches.

“It’s always a massive honour to represent my country,” said Goldstein, “and to score in the final on my 50th cap was a very proud moment. It was incredible to have my family and friends watching me lift the cup.

"Having missed out on becoming a professional footballer, it means so much that I’m managing to fulfil my dream and make it on to the wall of honour at SGP.
