Fascinating stuffAnd yet, still not the most interesting thing about Blissett's time in Italy.

That brought back memories. What a goal. lol:One of the strangest goals that I've seen
While no-one has actually admitted making a mistake in signing Luther Blissett for AC Milan, the rumour persists in Italy over 30 years later that the club had in fact meant to sign Blissett’s Watford team-mate John Barnes.
Blissett had a torrid single season at Milan, scoring just five goals in 30 appearances and bemoaning that in Italy “no matter how much money you have, you can’t buy Rice Crispies”. The AC Milan owner and president at the time, Giuseppe Farina, never denied the story but did concede that Blissett had been recommended to him by a London gardener.
Oh and...
What's significant about this picture? The fact that we signed the most promising defender in the country at the moment? Or a bad camera angle?What was he thinking getting his right ear pierced?

149-0 scoreline sets new record
A league match in Madagascar has produced a result that has to be a new world record.
Newly-crowned Madagascan champions AS Adema thrashed their arch-rivals Stade Olympique I'Emyrne 149-0 in a top national league game.
But it was not their outstanding skill that led to the outlandish scoreline.
It was because Olympique deliberately scored one own goal after another in protest over a refereeing decision.
Radio Madagascar reported that Olympique began banging the ball into their own net after their coach Ratsimandresy Ratsarazaka lost his temper with the referee.
No contest
Fans told the station that after the row between coach and official at Adema's home ground in the port of Toamasina, the visitors directed each kick-off directly towards their own goal.
Adema's players simply stood around looking bemused as their opponents self-destructed.
The presenter claimed the result was a new world record score in a first class match.
Olympique were last year's Malagasy champions who were a surprise qualifier for the second round of the African Champions League this season.
Adema clinched the Malagasy title last weekend.

Who can forget the time Liverpool fought back with all their heart to draw against West Brom?
RIP.
