Ryujiro Ueda (植田 龍仁朗, Ueda Ryūjirō; born January 29, 1988, in Kadoma, Osaka) is a Japanese former football player who last played for Roasso Kumamoto.[1]
On October 30, 2011, he scored the only goal for his team against Yokohama FC with his head from his own half. The distance of 58.6 metres was thought to be a world record, but later measurements showed that the ball was headed in from 57.8 metres out. That means Jone Samuelsen still holds the record with 58.13 metres.
Ueda retired at the end of the 2019 season.[2]
