A BRITISH non-league footballer has scored the world’s fastest-ever goal — in just TWO SECONDS.
Striker Marc Burrows, 25, scored straight from the kick-off, helped by a strong wind, illustrated below.
He said yesterday: “My fellow striker Michael Ponter rolled the ball forward a couple of inches and I took a mighty swing at it.
“The wind was strong and the ball just sailed over their poor keeper.
“I was so stunned I didn’t really celebrate. I put my arms in the air and burst out laughing.”
Thrilled Marc went on to score a hat-trick as Cowes Sports reserves, from the Isle of Wight, beat Eastleigh reserves 5-3.
The sales consultant, a former trainee with Portsmouth FC, added: “I’ve tried something similar but it normally goes out for a throw in and I feel like a right prat.”
Manager Paul Sleep said after the game at Eastleigh, Hants: “Their goalkeeper was a little too far off his line. The poor lad looked totally shocked and amazed.”

Actually, it's not Italy. Turkey for example has set the record high. But if you really want to know you should research the question in wikipedia.com!
