Which footballers have scored in the same minute as their surname? | The Knowledge

A West Brom Under-21 player named Justin Seven-Seven came on in the 75th minute and scored in the 77th, prompting readers to share other footballers whose surnames match the minute they scored. The examples show how a quirky statistical question can turn up records across different leagues and eras.

Among the replies were Didier Six and Martin Six, both linked to sixth-minute goals, Armand Oné scoring in the first minute, and Raffaele Quaranta scoring in the 40th. Other contributions broadened the discussion to home winless runs: Burnley had gone 376 days without a league win at Turf Moor, while Reggiana’s drought across all competitions lasted 465 days between 1996 and 1997. The supplied article ends mid-sentence during a further question about Ross County’s goals.
