Giuseppe Lorenzo (born 27 December 1964) is an Italian retired professional footballer who holds the record for the fastest-ever sending off in a professional match; the non-professional record is held by English footballer David Pratt.[1] Lorenzo was sent off after just 10 seconds on 9 December 1990 while playing for Bologna against Parma for striking an opponent.[2][3] Lorenzo also played for Catanzaro, Sampdoria and Cesena in a career which lasted from 1982 to 1996.
