Striker David Pratt, 21, was dismissed in a Southern Premier League game against Bashley on Saturday. The previous fastest sending-off is generally accepted to be 10 seconds for Bologna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super_Donut_Man Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 Don't think its a red card, and it was written back in 2000, but... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2000/dec/20/newsstory.sport6 THE WORLD'S FASTEST BOOKING A few years ago I remember that Wimbledon's Vinnie Jones up-ended Man City's Niall Quinn within about three seconds of the start of the game, and it was said at the time to be a new world record for the fastest-ever booking. Is this true, what was the official time and has anyone managed to break the record since? asks David Scott. Yes, Vinnie still holds the world record for the quickest booking, according to the FA's David Barber -a distinction he "earned" after a foul on Dane Whitehouse three seconds into Chelsea's game against Sheffield United in 1992. "I must have been too high, too wild, too strong or too early, because, after three seconds, I could hardly have been too bloody late!" remembers Vinnie fondly in his autobiography. makes me chuckle.
