Oh, those wheels sure turn slowly.

Anyway, he played with a team in the Midlands. There are a few good ones, up there.


The best Scottish players usually do leave Scotland and go to England. The Scottish league is not much better than a county Sunday league.

He played on the Scottish national team but never in that league. He held records for the speed of his kick.

Well I can't think who it is.

This is the fastest strike ever recorded in a football match, by Brazilian star Ronnie Heberson for Sporting Lisbon in 2006. The ball travelled through the air at 131mph. In the video, you may struggle to even see the ball.
