    Nope. Wireless communication was around before Marconi took credit for it. The actual inventor was only recently acknowledged...

    I'll accept Tesla. He was a number of years ahead of Marconni in terms of wireless transmission experiements.
    Alexanader Popov, another pioneer in the field stated:
    "the emission and reception of signals by Marconi by means of electric oscillations [was] nothing new. In America, the famous engineer Nikola Tesla carried the same experiments in 1893."

    You're question i guess...

    If you mean English Football then it's Arthur Rowley who scored 434 goals.
