John Staff’s Centenary History states 12 seconds for the goal against Millwall, and 10 seconds for Julian Broddle’s in a 3-0 win against Southend in April 1987 (in front of a crowd of just 1602)
Pilling’s was more important though, being the only goal in the replay to get through to the third round Cup tie against Newcastle.
I was reading that last night – Millwall were baffled how many Iron players were forward at kick off? Good old Staffy RIP. Too young to be there myself.
