Burnley’s Ben Mee blocks point-blank shot with his head

In a move vaguely reminiscent of John Terry's trout dive, Burnley defender Ben Mee put his skull directly in the line of fire during his side's 1-0 loss to Reading on Friday. After finding himself on the ground and right in front of Noel Hunt's shot directly in front of an empty net, Mee put his head right in front of the ball as Hunt kicked it to block the shot.

Though it didn't change the outcome for Burnley, Ben Mee has proven that he puts his team before his desire to not have brain damage.
