#1 Keith Gillespie, Sheffield United vs Reading in 2007 (0 seconds)
Ad
How do you top being sent off after 0 seconds? You don't really. But Keith Gillespie takes his place at number one simply because of the sheer stupidity of his actions. The former Manchester United winger came on in the second half of the Premier League clash between Sheffield United and Reading with his side needing a goal.
But instead of helping the Blades score, the winger created more problems for his side as he elbowed Reading's Stephen Hunt just as his side was about to take a throw-in in their own half. Much like Boyd, since play hadn't restarted, Gillespie was sent off after 0 seconds, thereby becoming the fastest red card in Premier League history.
