Gavin Stokes will never be as famous as he has been today after he scored the "fastest goal in soccer history" when he scored direct from the kick off for Maryhill v Clydebank in 2.1 secs in the West of Scotland Super league tie, a non-league fixture and a 3-0 win.

Vuk Bakic of GSP Polet scored in 2.2 secs against FK Dorcol in the Serbia Junior League setting up a 4-1 win in 2012.
Mark Burrows in 2004 scored for Cowes Sports in 2.56 secs (so the ref said) beating Eastleigh Reserves 5-3 in a Hampshire League game. It was wind assisted his home fans claimed.
Jim Fryatt for Bradford Park Avenue (yes,once a League team) netted in 4 secs against Transmere in 1964 in a Football League match, but there was no film proof, only the ref's word and watch.
Ledley King scored in 10 secs in 2000 against Bradford City in the Premier League at Valley Parade. The match ended 3-3.
The fastest World Cup goal is down to Christian Benteke for Belgium against Gibraltar in October 2016 scoring in 8.1 secs and curiously Davide Gualtieri for San Marino notched against Graham Taylor's England at Wembley in 8.3 secs in 1993. This game ended in a 7-1 win for England but they needed a seven goal margin and for a bit of luck in the other group tie. Neither happened, England didn't qualify and Taylor walked.
Hakan Sukur scored in 10.89 secs for Turkey when they beat South Korea 3-2 in the World Cup Finals.
