Former Neath full-back Thorburn won 37 caps for Wales between 1985 and 1991, captaining his country 10 times and scoring a then-record 304 points. He will forever be remembered for the monster penalty he landed from the incredible distance of 70 yards, 8 inches against Scotland at Cardiff Arms Park in 1986. It still stands as the longest goal-kick in the history of the game and it's always been seen as a record that's likely to remain unsurpassedDont know if this one below counts
Jonny Wilkinson might be the name on everyone's lips in English rugby, acclaimed as the greatest goal-kicker in the world, but we should not forget Ernie Cooper and the massive kick which secured him a place in the record books.
Sixty years ago yesterday, Cooper landed an 81-yard penalty for Bridlington School's first XV against an Army XV, the longest successful authenticated penalty kick in history.
