FASTEST GOAL EVER SCORED

FASTEST GOAL EVER SCORED Friday February 05th, 2010
NEW WORLD’S FASTEST GOAL RECORD SET BY AMATEUR

The record for the world’s fastest goal has been smashed by an amateur when he scored from kick-off. Cowes’ Reserves striker, Marc Burrows was playing in the Sydenham’s Wessex League against Eastleigh when he took the magic kick, which was aided by a strong gust of wind and sailed past the opponent’s keeper. The goal was timed by the referee at two seconds beating the world record by 0.8secs. The 25year-old then went on to score a hat-trick ensuring Cowes won 5-3.
Referee John Sorrel said, 'The goal surprised everyone. I thought I'd have a go because the wind was so strong. 'I was so stumped to see it sail over their keeper I didn't really celebrate. I just burst out laughing. I've tried it before but the ball normally goes for a throw in and I feel like a right prat... 'It was a great strike, better than Beckham's when he scored from halfway against Wimbledon. I timed it at two seconds. I don't think you could score faster.'
Guinness World Records are now checking the Marc’s claim.
