Came across a recent Twitter thead on this, here are some of the best ones...!
Andy Hessenthaler was given a red card whilst managing Gillingham away at Cardiff so brought himself on a sub as he was player-manager and there's no rule against it (or there wasn't at the time).
Between 1975 and 1988 West Bromwich Albion’s managers were called; Johnny, Ronnie, John, Ron, Ronnie, Ron, Johnny, Nobby, Ron, Ron.
Mario Balotelli is the only Italian to win the Premier League. Also, his assist for the Aguerooooo goal is his only PL assist.
Rio Ferdinand was in four World Cup squads but was never involved at a Euros.
Stefan Schwartz had a clause in his contract that he 'couldn't become an astronaut' for the duration of his time at Sunderland.

Nobby Styles ruining the pattern makes it even better.
