Wiki

Lee Todd is an English amateur footballer for Cross Farm Park Celtic. He is noted for being in the Guinness Book of World Records for the quickest sending off in a football match, being sent off in one match within two seconds of it starting for swearing when the referee blew his whistle loudly next to him.

Todd was playing as a striker for Cross Farm Park Celtic against Taunton East Reach Wanderers, away from home in October 2000. The referee for the match, Pete Kearle, was standing directly behind Todd when he blew his whistle to kick-off the match. Todd was unaware that Kearle was behind and was therefore surprised by how loud the whistle was.

He then stuck his fingers into both of his ears and exclaimed, "Fuck me, that was loud!" Kearle promptly gave Todd a straight red card within two seconds of the match having started for using "foul and abusive language". Despite this early sending off, Cross Farm Park Celtic still went on to beat Taunton East Reach Wanderers 11–2.
