Terry Paine once owned a "Milk Bar" in Southgate St Winchester.

 

Even at the time nobody was sure what a "Milk Bar" was.

He also owned several Milky Bars but that is completely different

Shame the East Stand clock could have not been taken to SMS as well.

well..in the COUNTRY named SWEDEN , they have " counties " that are actually termed " län" (which means the same thing)

Not really about a player but an interesting thing i saw on wiki (must be true right?)

 

Atletico Madrid

 

The club was originally founded on 26 April 1903[8] as Athletic Club de Madrid by three Basque students living in Madrid. These founders saw the new club as a youth branch of their childhood team, Athletic Bilbao.[8] In 1904, they were joined by dissident members of Real Madrid.[9] They began playing in blue and white, similarly to Athletic Bilbao, but by 1911, Athletic were playing in their current colours of red and white stripes. Many believe the change was influenced because red and white striped tops were the cheapest stripes to make, because the same combination was used to make bed mattresses, and the unused cloth was easily converted into football shirts. This discovery of a cheaper option probably persuaded them to change and influenced the Madrid club being come to known as Los Colchoneros nickname. Other more plausible account of the reason to change colours is that both Athletic Bilbao and Athletic Madrid used to buy Blackburn Rovers blue and white kits in England.[10] Once in 1911, Juanito Elorduy, former player and member of the board of Athletic Madrid, went to England to buy kits for both teams. He did not find Blackburn Rovers kits and bought Southampton red and white ones instead.[10] Athletic Bilbao adopted the full Southampton kit with the red and white striped shirt and black shorts. Whereas, Athletic Madrid adopted the red and white shirt but kept Blackburn Rovers blue shorts, leading to them also being known as Los Rojiblancos.

 

So there you have it, if it was not for us Madrid would have a different emblem and kit!
