Following the submission, we conducted our own research to verify it, and were unable to find any player with a superior record.
Almost two weeks ago, GWR responded that they had rejected the application, but recommended appealing the decision with a different title, we suggested "Most consecutive years of scoring in international soccer"
The record manager handling the application has replied to the appeal with the following
We are not able to change the titles upon request. These titles and records have been set up for everyone to apply to. We have other criteria than the ones mentioned that need to be fulfilled as well and we don't feel like this is a record we should monitor. Kind regardsNeedless to say we are very disappointed with this response after the effort put in over the last few months, and would like to thank everyone for the support received since we first launched the application five months ago, especially Joe Leogue of the Examiner who's been covering the story since the beginning.
If Robbie's record is eventually broken,we do hope that his achievement is recognised by the relevant bodies at that time. We suspect Cristiano Ronaldo may do it, but he'll have to continue scoring every year until 2022 in order for a new record to be set!
