The 30-year-old's Mercedes crashed at Thornwood roundabout yesterday.
A man said to have scored one of fastest goals recorded in football has died in a crash in Glasgow in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The former electrician’s family have since paid tribute to Mr Stokes. They said he is remembered for scoring one of the world’s fastest ever recorded goals in just over two seconds for Maryhill Juniors against Clydebank back in April 2017. Media reports at the time, including Sky Sports, said his goal was unofficially clocked at 2.1 seconds, making it one of the quickest goals in British football history. Mr Stokes’ relatives said he played with various football clubs, including Dundee United, Kilbirnie, Maryhill Juniors, Irvine Meadow, Alloa Athletic, Dundee United and the Scotland International Team.
