AN amateur footie team believe they have set a world record after all ten outfield players hit the back of the net in one match. Sharp-shooters AFC Eastfield routed league strugglers Pocklington 10-0 in their biggest ever win, but they also achieved a unique feat when all players scored a goal.
The club is now checking with Guinness World Records in a bid to get their historic win recognised. The team, from Scarborough, North Yorks, celebrated wildly at full-time — except for club secretary Stephen Crosby, who had promised to buy every player a pint if they could reach double figures and keep a clean sheet.
At 9-0 I was offering our players £20 for an own goal. Stephen, 64, told The Sun: “Never in my wildest dreams did I think they’d do it. “We were 3-0 up at half-time which was a pretty nice cushion to have. “The manager told the lads to put the pressure on them in the second half and to push on — and they did.
“It’s not like our keeper had nothing to do. Pocklington broke forward a few times. “We kept rattling the goals in. By the time we were 9-0 up, I was offering our players £20 to score an own goal.”. The first was scored by Ryan Herrington, with Chris Hannam and Brad Cawkwell also on the scoresheet before half time.
