    Perhaps one of the most famous being Brian Clough.

    "Clough’s playing career effectively ended on Boxing Day 1962, when in an accidental collision with the Bury ‘keeper Chris Harker, Clough ruptured the medial and cruciate ligaments in his right knee. He was twenty-nine years old. After a long lay-off, much physiotherapy and an aborted come back, it was clear Clough was no longer the player he was, having lost much of his pace and strength on the ball. His vision, drive and skill were never diminished, but he – and his club – had to face the facts. His playing days were over."

    He should get a chance for England before long.

    For Dionatan Teixeira- former Stoke player who died on 5th November.
    Brazilian born but qualified to play for Slovakia.

    I'm a bit more sympathetic to Pulis than most here.
    He got WBA punching above their weight, finishing as the highest placed Midlands club.
    The board backed him with some money and he brought in some players who could have improved their playing style and made them more attractive to watch.
    But he was deemed to have failed after just 12 games - proof that you can do well for 100 games, but it counts for nothing if you fail for 10.

    Would you pay money out of your own pocket and travel for hours to watch that 20+ times a year?

    2-2 now.

    Really open game. Poor defending from Stoke for the equaliser. Big Kev didn't exactly cover himself in glory.

    How many games have players with an umlaut, acute accent and scharfes "s" in their names?

    Most Leverkusen games from last season, given their squad included Ömer Toprak, Charles Aránguiz, Javier Hernández, Aleksandar Dragović and Stefan Kießling - with Hakan Çalhanoğlu adding a cedilla and a breve to the pile.

    Barring injury, Hernandez will by the end of the season.

    Everton striker Oumar Niasse has become the first Premier League player to be charged by the Football Association for "successful deception of a match official".

    ...in other words The FA spent a dozen games looking the other way when one of their favourites successfully deceived a match official.
