PurpleCanary 5,531 Posted June 11, 2013 [quote user="AJ"]I''ve heard a few, not entirely 100% on their credibility though;Brazil are the only country to have appeared at every single world cup tournament.To rectify the post above, Hakan Sukur of Turkey currently holds the fastest world cup goal at 11 seconds.Geoff Hurst only player to score a hat-trick in a world cup final (a feat I emulated on Fifa last night!)Sir Stanley Matthews was never booked in his entire 33 years as a footballer.The first ever televised match was at Highbury.Pele is the only player to win three world cups.Vinnie Jones has the record for the quickest booking in a top flight match - 3 seconds.[/quote] Depends. He played in the winning teams in 1958 and 1970, including in the two finals, scoring in both. In 1962 he played early on but got injured and didn''t play in any of the knock-out rounds. Quite possibly he still qualified for a winner''s medal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Horn 0 Posted June 11, 2013 Ebbsfleet United (previously Gravesend and Northfleet United) hold the record for the longest continuous run in the FA Cup over a season. They began their campaign in August 1962 and eventually got knocked out in an FA Cup 3rd Round replay against Sunderland in the middle of March 1963 after the atrocious winter weather of early 1963 caused recurrent postponements.
