BILL NICHOLSON

Before he became Tottenham’s

greatest manager of all time,

Nicholson scored 19 seconds

after kick-off on his England

debut against Portugal in 1951.

Alas, injury problems meant it

proved his one and only outing

on the international stage.

JOHN COCK

No sniggering, please. The first

Cornishman to play for England

bagged his first goal within half

a minute, against Ireland in

1919. Like Nicholson, his Three
      Lions career didn’t last very long

• he played once more, scored
  once more, then that was that.

SPEEDY DOES IT

Only two players have ever got off the mark quicker for England
