Yes, it now is @RedDave It used to be Ledley King who scored after 9.9 seconds for spurs against Bradford in 2000 Close behind is Christian Eriksen who scored after 11 seconds for Spurs Vs Man Utd in 2017 Who could forget the fastest international goal involving England, sadly not Robson's 27 second goal against Spain, but the now infamous goal conceded in San Marino, which was scored by Davide Gualtieri after 8.3 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I thought at the time that Tony Thorpe's opening day 27 minute hattrick in 2001 must have been some sort of record but it doesn't seem to be one upon which statistics are kept. Quote Saturday, 11 August, 2001, 14:33 GMT 15:33 UK Northampton 0-3 Bristol City Tony Thorpe grabbed a first-half hat-trick as Bristol City strolled to an opening-day victory at Sixfields Stadium. City's top scorer last season took just 27 minutes to grab a fantastic hat-trick that left the home side shell-shocked. And the Cobblers' misery was compounded when they were reduced to 10 men in the 34th minute when midfielder James Hunt was dismissed for a reckless late challenge on City skipper Louis Carey. Thorpe opened the scoring with a diving header in the sixth minute but it took a goal-line clearance from Carey to deny Marco Gabbiadini an equaliser five minutes later. Thorpe increased City's lead with a 20th-minute penalty and grabbed his third seven minutes later with a close-range header. Northampton: Welch, Burgess, Hope, Frain, Lavin, Hunt, Hargreaves, Spedding, Gabbiadini, Parkin, Forrester. Subs: Evatt, McGregor, Wolleaston, Sollitt, Asamoah. Bristol City: Stowell, Amankwaah, Lever, Carey, Hill, Bell, Doherty, Tinnion, Brown, Jones, Thorpe. Subs: Murray, Clist, Phillips, Matthews, Burnell. Referee: P Alcock (Halstead) Can anyone remind me who "Lever" is? All the other names are very familiar but that's not ringing a (Mickey) bell. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/1482537.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 9 minutes ago, elhombrecito said: Mark. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Lever Cheers Really only one season and not spectacular then as released at the end of it. I will give my memory a free pass on that one. Bristol City After 12 years at Grimsby, Lever dropped down a division and signed for Bristol City in July 2000 on a free transfer,[2] and naturally became the main candidate to be the club captain. However his first season, was ruined by injury, after making his debut on the opening day of the season in a 2–0 defeat against Wrexham, Lever went on to feature in two more games, before injury ruled him out for the rest of the 2000–2001 campaign. The following season was more successful for Lever, as he completed 34 games in all competitions, coupled with a single goal in a 3–0 victory over Oldham Athletic on 2 February 2002. At the end of the 2001–2002 campaign, City decided not to renew Lever's two-year contract and he was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Not going to lie this really annoys me. There was a top league before Premier League so I wish they would stop making stats about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Records are generally interesting to people if they can be either broken or held by someone recognisable. People recognise the name Lesley King so it’s put into better context than say Bobby McSargeant who scored after 6 seconds in 1912 because the goalie was twirling his moustache. Do you get annoyed at say our largest attendance for the season because there were seasons before you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman Original Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 My first game. March 16th 1957 v Bury. John Atyeo scored after about 12 seconds. I thought this is good I’ll come again! Been downhill ever since! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrick's Marvels Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Our quickest is surely Glenn Humphries? On debut and with his first touch in a City shirt. Unfortunately, it went in his own net. Can remember it like yesterday, thinking who the fckin fck is this fckr. Fortunately, he improved after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I’ve seen some quick ones over the years. Usually against us. I remember Luton had a bloke called Tom Finey who scored twice in the first few minutes on the first match of the season years ago along with various other catastrophes.
