Nick Barmby scored the quickest goal for us. I think that was the same, 7 seconds. Can't remember who against.
Unless someone scores straight from kickoff (as in, kicks off and instantly shoots), that record will probably never be beaten. It's a good goal as well, nice finish. Wish we never sold him when we did. I loved him and was annoyed at the time despite getting double what we paid.
I'm surprised no-one tries or has tried to score direct from kick off. It's within the rules, most players nowadays can hit the ball from half way to the goal, many but not all goalies stand around the penalty spot from kick off.
Again I can't remember who against, but I remember Deano trying it. It know it was when he played for us the first time round and it was an away game. He wasn't far off either. Typical Windass.
Yeah, I think he did try it a few times actually. There's nowt wrong with trying. It's a 'why not' thing.
the league record is 3.5 seconds. i assume that was a pass and a shot. timing probably less accurate whenever that was.
Colin Cowperthwaite - 1979 - Barrow v Kettering Town 0-4 - 3.55 sec - Fastest Goal in association football.
It was from kick off, there's actually several quicker ones, including two at 2 seconds, but they were in youth/non-league games.
