Who is the only footballer to have scored a goal without ever touching the pitch?
I cannot imagine such a situation.
Only a player may score a goal. A substitute, or starter, only becomes a player once they step onto the field.

When and where did the football appear?
According to historical reports, there is said to be having similarities between Rugby and Football in the way that both the games include running to the end line to score. There is also reports saying that in the 1820's, Princeton students played something like that. The rules consisted of using the hand or feet to carry the ball to the opposing goal. Also later in 1860, there are records of students in Harvard playing the game similarly. When Harvard began playing football, it was known to be caled "Bloody Monday". It earned the name because it was played on the said date and was very physical.
The first modern documented evidence of soccer rules can be found in the rules laid down at England's Trinity College at Cambridge in 1848. The rules were known as the 'Cambridge Rules' back in the day. Hence in that sense it is pertinent to state that football was invented by the representatives of various universities across the UK, namely Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Shrewsbury, and Winchester. The first formal association to govern soccer was also born in England, in 1863. In that year, the Football Association (The FA) was formed to govern all the rules and solve any football related disputes arising in the UK. Today, the FA is still the highest authority governing football in England.
