Over at The Guardian, they’ve been arguing the toss about the fastest goal ever scored. By that, they mean hardest in mph. Well, after a couple of weeks of debate, they seem to have found the most blistering goal ever. No, it’s not Obi Martins or Tony Yeboah, but Sporting Lisbon’s Brazilian left-back Ronny "Homem-Bomba" (human bomb) Heberson, who rifled in a free-kick against Naval in November last year. It was taken from 16.5 metres out, and hit the net in 0.28 seconds and so, by their calculations, that’s an incredible 131.82mph.
