And, after a 2-2 draw across 120 minutes, it was skipper Webster that netted the crucial spot-kick to spark scenes of ecstasy.

But just moments before dispatching the penalty, the centre-back could be seen smiling and raising his eyebrows to the Solihull keeper - a remarkable feat of composure under the circumstances.

He then went on to send the keeper the wrong way, before he stood with his arms outstretched in celebration as his team-mates stormed over to bask in the win.

And football fans on social media were loving ex-Yeovil and Millwall man Webster's antics before the penalty.

One said: "Coolest head in the stadium."

Another added: "Confidence from our skipper 👏."

A third replied: "Man like Byron 🦁."

A fourth responded: "Have you seen anyone more confident before taking a decisive penalty than CENTRE BACK Byron Webster 😳."

And a fifth said: "There’s backing yourself under pressure and then there’s this from Byron Webster. Outrageously big balls on him."

As well as his confidence when taking the penalty, Webster was also wearing an EFL armband in a remarkable demonstration of confidence that Bromley were going to secure promotion.
