From The website for the English football association, the Emirates FA Cup and the England football team

A player is in an offside position if:

any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents’ half (excluding the halfway line) and
any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent
The hands and arms of all players, including the goalkeepers, are not considered.

A player is not in an offside position if level with the:

second-last opponent or
last two opponents


Note the rules refer to the 'second-last opponent'...
Wow I never knew that. I thought offside is about the last non-goalkeeper opponent.
