Any advances on Stuart McCall at Italia '90?

There can't be many, surely?

 

[Cheets]

Martin Peters in 1966.

 

[Silent Blade]

An ex-Blades manager did in 1982!

Billy Sharp 2018

One of em must have pulled. Birds in some of these hot countries throw themselves at a footballer, especially if he's World Cup standard.

Flo?

For sure.

I bet Macca had at least one knee trembler on the backstreets of Genoa that night he banged one in against Sweden.

Robson 82...wasn't it the quickest world cup goal...14 seconds or summat?

Rumour has it someone bet him half a shandy he wouldn't score that day.

Incorrect. Might have assisted a couple in 1998 but never scored.

Henri Camera

Correct. Two goals in 2002.

Didn't Dellas score in 2004?

That wasn't a World Cup.

At the time Robson's opener was claimed to be the fastest goal in the 52-year history of World Cup Finals but it was more likely to have been the third fastest. after further research in the next few or so years.

Mexico beat Czechoslovakia 3-1 in Vina del Mar during the Chile Finals of 1962 despite going behind after just 15 seconds.

The Mexicans kicked off but gave the ball away, Josef Masopust set up the blond Vaclav Masek on the left and his shot rolled under Antonio Carbajal, Mexico’s goalkeeper and captain.

There was another quick goal in the Third Place Match at the 1934 Finals. Germany edged Austria 3-2 in Naples, Ernst Lehner leaping in to score for the Germans right in front of Austrian ‘keeper Peter Platzer after 24 seconds.
,
Since then Hakan Sukur of Turkey netted after 10.8 seconds in 2002

the blond Vaclav Masek

That level of detail, though.

 

[Shirty Blade]

Does world cup qualifying count? I'm sure Ian Rush will have scored a few?

That level of detail, though.

It was all out of a bottle

Happy Hour at 'Las Cervezas Ingleses' ended at 1700. He hoped to have the game in the bag by half time to take FULL advantage with a half time substitution. Ron Greenwood knew the score " put one in the onion bag! kill off the game and the evenings yours Robbo..."
