Austrian forward scored his second goal in as many games and provided an assist as Cheltenham Town secured their first away win of the season
Andi Weimann has scored against Manchester United, dismantled Liverpool alongside Christian Benteke at Anfield and even netted against world champions France.
But he insists the buzz remains the same after his superb header for Cheltenham Town at Crawley Town set Steve Cotterill's side on course for their first away win of the season.
"Scoring a goal will always be nice," Weimann said. "It was a really good ball in from Ships (Jordan Shipley) and all I tried to do was manage to get good contact and it was in."
It was Weimann’s second goal in two games for the Robins after he had opened his account from the penalty spot in the previous weekend’s 2-2 home draw with Grimsby Town.
He also provided the assist for Charlie McCann’s second goal of the game at Crawley, making it 3-1 in the 54th minute.
Summer signing McCann, who has been operating as a number 10 behind centre forward Weimann, has now scored six goals in as many League Two appearances for Cheltenham.
Having spent his entire career in the top two divisions, Weimann said it is obvious that former Man United and Rangers prospect McCann possesses real quality.
"Almost every shot Charlie has had this season has gone in," Weimann said.
"He’s been doing it in training when we’ve done drills, his finishing is always on point and you can tell he has a lot of confidence at the minute.
"With him in the 10 and me the 9, we are getting used to each other a bit more and I was happy to get the assist. Hopefully we can keep it going and if he keeps scoring in every game, it’ll be good for us."
Weimann joined Cheltenham on the eve of the League Two opener at home to Rotherham United and he went on from the bench in the first two games.
He has since started four in a row and despite not having pre-season with a club, he feels his hard work has helped speed up his return to full match sharpness.
"I was really good in the off season, doing a lot of running and even after I retire I think I’ll be like that as I enjoy it, as long as the knees and the body hold up!" he said.
"I think I must have been bored on the weekend and signed up for a half marathon two days before, so maybe getting that distance in has helped me, even if I felt it for a few days after.
"But I am feeling good now and I have played quite a few minutes in the last few weeks, so hopefully my fitness is getting better and better."

Weimann has earned a reputation for selfless running throughout his career and he says the key is quality, rather than quantity.
"How the manager wants to play is really front foot with a lot of running and I am getting there in my old age!" the 35-year-old joked.
"Throughout my career I’ve been really hard working. I don’t run too much total distance, but a lot of sprints and high intensity, which is exactly how the manager wants to play so it works for me.
"We’ve started the season well, but we want to keep improving, working hard for each other and let’s see how we go."
