About Keithroy Cornelius

Born 1968. Keithroy Cornelius is an American association football player and cricketer.

Keithroy Cornelius (born 3 May 1968) is a former West Indian cricketer. Cornelius was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm fast. He also played association football for the United States Virgin Islands football team between 2004 and 2011. In a match which they won by 4 wickets, he bowled two expensive wicketless overs which cost 20 runs, while with the bat he was dismissed for a duck by Elsroy Powell.

In football, Cornelius made six appearances for the United States Virgin Islands, the last of which came in a 6–1 defeat to Curaçao in a 2014 World Cup qualifier on 15 November 2011, in which he scored his team's only goal, becoming, at the age of 43 years and 196 days, the oldest-ever international goalscorer in world football, breaking the 17-year-old record set by Roger Milla in the 1994 World Cup at the age of 42 years and 39 days. Some sources, however, state that the holder of this record is Wales' Billy Meredith, who scored against England in 1919, at the age of 45, but this match was a Victory International, which is not recognized as a full international.
