In what year did the Rugby League introduce the `Sin Bin`?Who holds
the record for the fastest goal in a FA Cup Final at Wembley?
Hello - and thanks for your question
The "sin bin" was introduced in 1982, according to this BBC Sports
Academy page on the history of Rugby League:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/bsp/hi/rugby_league/rules/history/html/thirteen_man.stm
This website confirms the date is 1982:

The fastest goal in a Wembley FA cup final was scored by Roberto di
Matteo.
" The fastest ever goal in a final was scored by Chelsea's Roberto di
Matteo in 1997, where he took just 43 seconds to hit the back of the
net against Middlesborough."
See Wembley's own website at:

Hope this helps but please ask for clarification if any of this answer
is unclear.
Good luck with your puzzles.
