Far far away...

Some of the incidents from this video have already been mentioned/posted, but it also contains gems like:

Kahn's handball goal (0:10),
Brazilian team doctor saving goal off the line... twice (0:31),
Kiessling's phantom goal (2:27),
Violani (or whoever) head-butting the bench (3:49),
legendary Carrasco self-slap (4:17),
Ashley Young and the famous bird poop (4:31) and a few more...

Clough could have his own thread for this subject.

Starts punching his own fans around 4:23

Samuel Eto'o playing for some irrelevant Russian team on ridiculous wages at 30 years old



He's also played for Madrid

I know it was just a pre-season game and LvG selected him as captain because he was going to play for the full 90 minutes but still, Tom Cleverley captained Manchester United.

Imagine having the stones at 18 years old to staunch up after being hacked down for a blatant penalty. The euphoric high Rashers must have been on last season would rival hard drugs.

Not completely sure about this image, it's black and white, but still... graphic - so, spoiler tags, for the brave. ;)

Charles Thomas George "Chic" Brodie (22 February 1937 – 24 April 2000) was a Scottish association football player. Agoalkeeper, he made 400 appearances in The Football League, but his professional career came to an end in 1970 when he was seriously injured after colliding with a dog which had run onto the field of play.

John Terry's slip. The closest moment to the trophy and that happened. Truly felt like a divine intervention
I was in a sports bar in Japan watching that at about 5am. I was going mental jumping around and screaming and all the other people were sat like Mr. Spock's miserable relatives. When we won, the Japanese United fans just clapped.

Frisk the idiot ref favoured Barca in the CL semi-final. Clear as a day preference towards the Catalans.
Wasn't Frisk. It was Ovrebo the Grant Mitchell lookalike. He also sent off a Barcelona player because Anelka tripped himself up.

But seriously, a multi-million pounds transfer went tits up by a fax machine? Yeah, things that actually happened in football.
