On a serious note, I think I read somewhere that for the past 5 premier league seasons, the first goal of the season has been score by the home side. Interesting if true...

The Northam Stand is built on stilts which can be jacked up to enable further seating to be slotted in underneath. Fact.

Cortese is a former catholic priest but had to stand down after pelting the congregation with olives.

I was the last person to get knockout at the dell after I jumped from the top tier in the west stand to the area the players came out, it was not so much the landing but for the 3 cans of coke that I had in my carrier bag which landed on my head.

We don't have "rumors" in this country; they are what the Yanks have, along with valor, honor, labor, etc. The Yanks are very non-U

 

But in line with the thread, the first team in English league football to consist entirely of non-English players, was Chelski, playing at the Dell. They were welcomed by that lovable scamp Dennis Rofe, who said hello to them in all of their various languages.

At various seemingly random times of every year, it is customary for the natives of Colden Common to perform a ceremonial dance while singing in an obscure dialect of olde english.

Every St Mary's seat can hold a person of up to 27 stone. The only chair related fan fatality came in the 2009-2010 JPT match against Norwich, when a 38 year old man developed deep vein thrombosis.

 

The origins of Rickie's surname date back to Tudor times, when Dorothy of Maidenhead asked her husband "would you like some Lamb, Bert?"

 

The original Ted Bates statue was voted #2 in Time Magazine's "funniest thing of all time" poll. It was just pipped to the title by Portsmouth FC's claim of signing Riquelme.

George Lawrence did not breed chickens, contrary to popular belief.

My mates Dad was a cabbie and was sent by the club to collect Frank Worthington who hadn't turned up for training. FW answered the door in a silk dressing gown with the obligatory dragon on the back. He left the house in said dressing gown & slippers, stopping only to pick up his kit & light a fag.

He had probably borrowed the dressing gown from an Air Hostess.

Jose Fonte's name is unpronouncable. The same applies to Andrei Kanchelskis, but only when in an inebriated state.

 

The Wallace trio actually had a younger brother called Derek. They locked him in a loft due to his lack of footballing ability and he hasn't been seen since. (The same also happened to Ray, but he escaped.)

 

Francis Benali was voted England's sexiest moustache wearer by the readers of Take A Break magazine, just four days before he shaved it off.

 

The corner flags at SMS are made of Marzipan.

Just for the record, we don't have triangular corner flags and never have had at St Marys (even last season's sash ones were rectangular), and the triangular corner flag thing was made up in the film Twin Town and as far as I am aware has absolutely no basis in reality.

 

Also, I hear Belmadi's moved out of his igloo into a windmill and Butterfield tastes like Feta Cheese on Thursdays.

This may or may not be true, however, what is true is that he would have walked past it daily on his trips from his home to the Co-op in Bedford Place.

 

FACT (I'm ITK for the only time ever)

Lee Todd played an oompa loompa in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory and is now Johnny Depp's butler

 

There's also talk that he might play Nik-Nak in the remake of The Man With The Golden Gun if Depp lets him have the week off.
