Yes, Steve Ogrizovic, back in 1986, for Coventry City direct from a goal kick.  I, er, can't seem to remember what team it was that he scored against though . . .      Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Baron99   778 #4 Posted January 25, 2021 There's been a few keepers that have scored goals directly from goal kicks. I'm sure I remember Jim Brown doing it for the Blades. In this instance however, Tom King's effort has been recognised by Guinness World Records as being the longest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
