Football World Records

100 football world records, videos, and challenges

Most Consecutive Australian Rules Football Catches by a Dog Using Paws

Timothy Jacobs

Raz, a border collie, waits on a backyard deck in Melbourne, Australia, with a tennis ball in his mouth as a red Australian rules football sails in from off camera. He rears up on his hind legs and traps the oval ball against his chest with both front paws before it touches the ground, the clean catch Aussie rules players call a mark, and keeps hold of it as he drops back to the deck. Checked frame by frame, the video shows the tennis ball staying in his mouth throughout, so the catch was made with paws alone. Some dogs bring one ball to the game; Raz brings two.

Fastest Walk To All 92 Football League Grounds

Xavier Wiggins

Xavier Wiggins walked to the home ground of all 92 Premier League and Football League clubs in 92 days, setting out from Swansea on 2 August 2025 and finishing at Home Park, Plymouth, on 1 November 2025. His Day 92 video shows him in his orange Walk92 hoodie striding the last stretch with fellow walkers clapping behind him, sitting in the Plymouth Argyle dugout and meeting the club mascot, Pilgrim Pete. The route covered roughly 2,000 miles with four rest days, and his day-by-day videos, club charities and local press along the way confirm the arrivals. Nearly a marathon a day for three months, all to spotlight the community work of football clubs.
