Football facts that you didn’t know

[Vienna_70]

Park Avenue were expelled from the Football League and @Vienna_70 was born in 1962, the year I was born.

Good vintage 1962.

Absolutely no doubt about that, @Dodge

SO l'Emyrne lost 149-0 to AS Adema in Madagascar in 2002. Every single goal was a deliberate OG. They scored all 149 themselves as a protest against a refereeing decision in their previous match. Absolutely bonkers.

It used to be a regulation that keepers had to wear a green jersey unless they were an England international and thus allowed to wear (I think) yellow.

This brings back memories of my favourite goalie of all time Lev Yashin especially from 1966 World Cup“The Black Panther”

Remember Ken Mulhearn copying him

Little known fact tho is Lev didn’t wear an all black kit
It was in fact a very dark navy blue
