Watch this clever rugby dude pull off a stunt 15 years in the making

In "things I am not coordinated enough to ever dream of accomplishing" news...

LONDON -- Don't know a single thing about rugby?

That's OK, you can still appreciate this sweet trick.

Know too much about rugby?

Then you'll really enjoy this unbelievable single man try.

In a video that has gone viral, rugby player Alan Knuckey absolutely smashes an overhead back heel pass to himself, resulting in a score. His mate captured the moment and posted it to Instagram:

The London native plays for Charlton Park Rugby Club, and attempted the trick on a dare.

"He dared me and I accepted," Knuckey is quoted as saying by ITV.

"Fifteen years I've attempted this. Never have I finished it off.

"This may be my finest rugby moment."

A fine moment indeed -- for Knuckey, rugby, and now the internet.
