  • Re Harry Redknapp, here's one I find hard to believe.

    Despite taking payments in his dog's name, he wasn't found guilty of tax evasion.

    If you search Wikipedia for "9-11" or "11-9", you're redirected to the page on the September 11th attacks.  If you search for "7-7" it takes you to the page for the London Bombings.  Such are the iconic status of the numbers 9-11 and 7-7.  

    "7-1" takes you straight to the page for the 2014 World Cup match between Brazil and Germany. 
    And if I search for 69?

  • Phil Neville made more premier league appearances than gary Neville

    Surprised at the 2nd one

    First one is less surprising and I would have guessed Phil Neville had played more games, mainly because he retired a couple of years after Gary, also didn't Gary have a bad injury that kept him out for almost a season at one point and his last season at united he barely played as well.

    Edit: I just looked the injury up on Wikipedia, the 2008 Community Shield was his first game back after a 17 month injury, I knew it was a long one didnt realise it was 17 months tho

    Isnt Juventus' ground only 41,500 (staggering for a club of their size) because attendances have been dropping quite a bit in Italian Football over recent years?

    i.e. they've deliberately built a smaller stadium so there arent so many empty seats
