Ananova:

Footballer David Pratt has written his name in the record books for the wrong reasons after getting the world's fastest-ever red card.

The 21-year-old striker for non-league Chippenham was sent off after three seconds for a lunge at Bashley's Christopher Knowles, 22, reports The Sun.

Bashley boss Steve Riley said: "It was a potential leg-breaker."

Chippenham secretary George McCaffrey admitted: "You could normally not meet a more milder man - but David lost it on this occasion."

The match in Bashley, Hants, ended 2-1 to the home side.

Bologna's Giuseppe Lorenzo held the record at ten seconds. Sheffield Wednesday goalie Kevin Pressman lasted 13 seconds against Wolves in 2000.
