Popular Post alanharper Posted April 27 Popular Post Share Posted April 27 I'm not sure exactly how long it was between his second and third goals, but it was very quick. In terms of actual play time it was just a few seconds of course, which will be very difficult for any one player to ever beat, given that the opposition kicks off. The quickest ever brace from the same player that I could Google was this one from the Brazilian league, timed at 47 seconds. Was Gregory faster than that? I saw 45 seconds mentioned in one match report. (Pedants - yes I know he scored a treble and not a brace, but I'm talking about the quickest two goals ever scored by the same player in a game!) 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banjaxed Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I remember a Wednesday match against Man Utd where Best scored and then tackled the guy at the restart ran through and scored again - although he may have wasted seconds running rings round players on the way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post matthefish2002 Posted April 27 Popular Post Share Posted April 27 James Hatyer of Bournemouth came on in 84th min v Wrexham in February 2004 and scored a hat trick in 2 mins 30 seconds. Fastest hat trick in Football league history. His parents were at the game but missed his hat trick as they left early thinking he wasn't going to come on. 3 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beswetherick Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Gregory’s winning goal was absolutely brilliant. Steam straight into the opposites from kick off after scoring our equaliser, win the ball back, carry it down that god awful pitch and lash it into the corner from the edge of the box. Pure determination 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockieOwl Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Simon Donnelly scored a very quick double away at a very good Millwall side, but Gregory's must have been quicker than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancy that, I bet Norris and Ross McWhirter are on their way to Hillsborough as we speak. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhForAnotherShez Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Ian (?) Scanlon got a hat trick against us for Notts County in the 70s, which I think only took about 90 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time almost up at 1-1. Hardly noticed Best until then. Turned on his magic after taking the ball on the left wing, seemed to dribble past numerous Owls defenders both times, and bang it into the top corner!! Mind you it was the season after we beat them 5-4 at home when they had Best, Law and Charlton on the forward line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the clock stops when the goal goes in, and restarts at the kick off - then it's only about six seconds, which is amazing really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 It may have been 45 seconds but how long was the ball in play for? He scored then technically play stops and from the restart he scored again in what around 8 seconds? Technically wouldn't that mean 2 goals in less than 10 seconds of play? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it back and got it as 7 seconds. Quite possibly a world record. Get the mcwherters over! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was thinking. Once the ball crosses the goal line, play is dead until the ball is kicked again for a kick-off. Watching the video, there is less than 8 seconds between the kick-off and the ball hitting the back of the net again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
