How far was the furthest ever goal kick in soccer?

Answer 1

Well I don't know, I think it's David Beckham, I know it is!

It's not David Beckham, he's not even a goalkeeper (goal keepers normally take goal kicks).Unless the question is actually asking what's the furthest out a goal has been scored from. Even then the answer isn't Beckham; he has famously scored from close to the half way line early in his career but several players have scored from their own half. I remember a goal by a goalkeeper (Pat Jennings I think) which was scored by a long kick from his hands from his own penalty area, the ball buounced over the GK at the other end and into the net...But if the question really is about the longest goal kick (i.e. a player kicking the ball from within the six yard box folloiwn the attacking side putting the ball wide of or over ther goal and between the cornber flags) I don't know!
