The 1923 FA Cup Final is the only major football match, where you can make the attendance to be anything you like.

 

It was officially about 126,000.   Others estimate it as 160,000.   Some estimate it as high as 200,000.   I've even see it listed as 300,000.  

 

Personally, I reckon it was over 500,000.   Nah, let's round it up and call it a million.

I hope that bloke that brought the horse with him paid twice

Giuseppe Bergomi played in four world cup tournaments but never played in a single world cup qualifier.

Stan Milburn, City full back in the 50s scored the only joint own goal in FL history. 

 

Despite being a good club servant Milburn's time at Filbert Street is remembered as much for a unique occurrence when he and defensive partner Jack Froggatt both mishit a clearance simultaneously, thus registering the Football League's only occurrence of an own goal credited to two different players

Brian Labone of Everton could have played in the 66 WC final instead of Jack Charlton :

 

Labone played 26 times for England between 1962 and 1970. He withdrew from England's 1966 World Cup squad because of his imminent marriage but played in three of the four games in the World Cup in 1970 in Mexico.

Where’s the guy ranting about stats that sound cool but actually aren’t? They played for Man City about 3 years apart.

Could be worse, could be West Ham:

 

Two facts:

 

That Antonio four at the weekend was West Ham’s first ever Premier League hatrick!

 

Since 2015 (when he signed) Payet is leading the assist stats for West Ham, by 28! He’s not played for them for 3 years!
