Actually, My grandpa scored the first goal in football as a referee to be counted!
In a match between Barrow AFC & Plymouth.
A referee cannot score a goal because they are considered part of the field. Any such goal would be credited to the last player who played the ball.

No. A referee is part of the field. If a ball rebounds off a referee and enters the goal, the goal is credited to the player that last touched it.
If a ball gets deflected off the referee and goes in the goal still stands. The referee is considered "part of the playing area"
