Wayne Rooney just broke the record and is now the highscorer.
Billy Heath of the Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Football League scored the first free kick against Accrington. The league was founded in 1888 and in 1992, twenty two teams left to form their own league called the Premier League.
The Premier League used to be called the Football League First Division but in 1992 the teams in the Premier League branched off from this championship. There is really no reason that the Premier League is called the Premier League other than Premier meaning good and needing to incorporate "League" in the name. Note that at the moment the Premier League is called the Barclays Premier League because of sponsorship (Barclays being the bank.)
