Under this technique, pre-season goals, youth team goals and thunderous strikes against a hapless nephew in the back garden all count towards your total. Here is the momentous occasion, which came courtesy of a penalty.

    Self indulgent to the point of rediculous. Certainly a great striker but this is a false milestone.
    BTW didn’t Pele get well over 1000?
