Have Alty ever conceded a quicker goal than the one which transpired in truly gruesome detail inside 20 seconds against Woking yesterday afternoon?
I've been racking my brains through the increasingly blurred images of over five decades of watching Alty and the following goal at FCUM on New Year's Day in 2017 came to mind as possibly constituting the previous fastest goal against the Robins that I have witnessed:
(From John Laidlar's match report)
"FC United had barely kicked off on a bright but cold afternoon at Broadhurst Park when they found themselves a goal to the good. After an advance on their right flank, the ball found its way to Gilchrist, who scored with a shot from 15 yards past the exposed Deasy, with just 38 seconds on the clock."
Can anyone else dredge up any other candidates?
We need Brian Flynn's eidetic memory for all things Alty to shine here!

Can’t beat that for goals conceded, but on a more positive note, didn’t he who we’d rather not mention score for us after 17 seconds vs Mansfield at Moss Lane in a 1-0 win?

On the plus side, for the other 89mins 43 seconds we were a winning team!
