The former goalkeeper, 54, was presented with a new football by his co-host as the cameras rolled.

Coated in a protective shell, the ball was tossed to Hislop by his pal.

But despite being a former Premier League stopper, Hislop hilariously stood and watched as the ball went past him before hitting the ground.

The protective shell smashed loudly into numerous pieces as the ball rolled out of the studio.

And Hislop, still appearing relaxed, casually moved to pick it up before carrying on with the segment.

His co-host was affected in a completely different way though, holding his hands to his head while surveying the damage.

Fans enjoyed the hilarious clip when it originally occurred, and have been pushing its resurgence after Hislop celebrated his birthday this week.

One declared: “This clip of Shaka Hislop may only be five seconds long but it’s absolutely perfect.”

Another joked: “Great Hugo Lloris impression.”

One noted: “I don’t know what I expected to happen but it wasn’t that. Sensational.”

Another added: “I’ve watched it on repeat over and over again expecting a different result every time.”

Hislop started his pro career at Reading in 1992 before securing a move to Newcastle three years later.

In 1998 he joined West Ham before moving to Portsmouth in 2002.

Hislop rejoined the Hammers three years later before ending his career with FC Dallas in 2007.

And he currently works as a commentator for ESPN.
