Bris Vegas Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 A challenge to post some crazy, some outrageous or some damn right funny football facts from any age.. It can be players, coaches, managers, fans, owners, referees, anything football related.. Theres bound to be a few hidden classics out there.. But I'll start off with a few examples. Richard Dunne has scored more goals in his own net than what he has at the other end.. Mart Poom has never lost a game in which he has scored a goal.. A game in Africa (Zimbabwe I think it was) was postponed just before kickoff because the referee was arrested on suspicion of smoking marijuana in the changing rooms.

Derbiean Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 A Manchester City fan was banned in 1995 from bringing dead chickens into City's Maine Road ground. He used to celebrate City goals by swinging the birds around his head. Stopping off en route to Iceland , the Albanian national team were thrown out of England in 1990 after going on a shopping spree at Heathrow. They had thought "duty free" meant help yourself. In 1987, a Peruvian 1st division side was thrown out of the national cup competition at the semi-final stage when it was discovered that their first choice eleven was made up entirely of eels and sting-rays. In season 1926/7, Bristol Rovers played in the nude. The supporters, the players and, indeed, the authorities never stopped this practise because the manufacturers let it be known that their 'kits' were made of a special material ''that only gays couldn't see''. In 1998 English referee Martin Sylvester sent himself off after punching a player during a game in the Andover and District Sunday League.

In Mexico here, the owner of America (Mexico City) is alos the owner of 2 other clubs.. Talk about boosting your chances of winning the league.. Micheal Ricketts had a better goalscoring record in the NPC, and won an England cap in his first PL season sooner then Andy Carroll.. $35mill for Micheal Ricketts anyone?
