The 2016 edition of the world-renowned book includes a number of new sporting records, which means the likes of Frank Lampard and Jose Mourinho have something new to hang on their respective walls.
Lampard’s award is for the most Premier League teams scored against (39), while Mourinho was handed four certificates for achievements during his managerial career to date.
Chris Smalling, bizarrely, received two certificates: fastest goal in the Premier League by a substitute from kick-off and most goals in the Premier League scored by a substitute in the first half. Cristiano Ronaldo also got in on the act for most hat-tricks in La Liga.
Speaking to the Guinness World Records website, Lampard said: “I set goals throughout my career to break records and this is one I never imagined to get.
