published 5 September 2011

Here's an interesting but made up fact. Only 16 professional football goals have ever been scored from inside a team's own half.

The sixteenth and most recent was struck by Coleraine's Johnny Black against Portadown in the IFA Carling Premier League.

His side won 4-3.

He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
