Tom King: I'm going to be a famous answer in a quiz somewhere
Newport County goalkeeper Tom King has set a new world record for the longest goal scored in competitive football.

The 25-year-old scored as the Exiles drew 1-1 at Cheltenham Town on Tuesday.

His goal-kick was picked up in the wind, catching out Robins keeper Josh Griffiths before sailing into the net.

Guinness World Records confirmed King "officially broke the record for the longest goal scored in a competitive football match, which covered an incredible distance of 96.01m".

Asmir Begovic previously held the world record for his November 2013 effort for Stoke City against Southampton.

It took until September 2014 for Begovic's effort - measured at 91.9m (301ft 6in) - to claim its place in the Guinness Book of World Records.
