7 Arsenal players in the same England XI.
Clive Alllen 1986 / 1987. 49 goals in all competitions.
Spurs only used 16 players to win the Double in 1961, scoring 136 goals across two competitions.

I was always amazed that Ledley King was only ever booked 8 times in 299 appearances for Spurs.
Most CBs clock that up in a season
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gary Lineker never picked up a single booking in his entire career. Unbelievable that stat.

Napoli winning as many domestic league championships as Liverpool since 1990-91 season.

Rio Ferdinand went 23 games without committing a foul in 2010.
He surpassed that in 2014 by going 28 games without committing a foul.

He's also lucky he played back in the days before shirt sponsors made it illegal to rip your shirt off when celebrating a goal.
He is also lucky that shiiiting yourself in a World Cup Semi Final and wiping your 'arris on the pitch isn't a yellow card offence.

Lineker invented diving.
That is a huge stane on his legacy imo.

Francis Lee was doing it at Maine Road before Lineker was a teenager.
From Franny Lee's wiki page..
Francis Henry Lee CBE also known as Franny Lee, is a former professional footballer. ... Lee's name is often cited in debates about diving in football; referees' chief Keith Hackett described him as a player who "had a reputation of falling down ...

after he knobbled George
Still can't quite get my head round (even though I was there for one of the games) that Chelsea once beat a team from Luxembourg called Jeunesse Hautcharage in a two legged European tie 21-0. Apparently it's a record and I guess it won't now be beaten in European competition.
It's an even more odd story when find out a bit more about the team that they played against. A village football team featuring four brothers, a one-armed striker, a bespectacled midfielder, two players over the age of 40 and a 15-year-old on the bench, who had enjoyed a fantastic run to a cup final, win it against the odds and earn a dream European tie against the competition holders.

If a team like that was playing today I reckon West Ham would send a couple of scouts to run the rule over them.
