Watch out Robbie Keane, there’s a certain Gibraltarian gaining on you.

Gibraltar’s Jake Gosling wrote himself into the history books during the last international break with his consolation goal during his country’s 8-1 loss to Poland.

His effort saw him “smash” Gibraltar’s goal scoring record leaving him with an impressive international tally of two.

A much smaller story this week was some guy called Blaine Rooney or something also broke his country’s goalscoring record. A video of his speech in the dressing room has since gone viral, which Gosling’s team Bristol Rovers team must have seen come up on their timelines.

Rovers gave Gosling a similarly rousing speech when he returned home from international duty after completing his remarkable feat.
