There’s not a lot of club football to look forward to over the next couple of weeks, so we’ve decided to put together a list of some truly interesting and random Football facts. Come this way.

1. What do Wayne Rooney, Gareth Bale, and Kevin Davies all have in common? Well, they are the only players to score, assist, and score an own goal, all in the same game.
2. Former Leeds United, Tottenham, Blackburn Rovers, and Burnley goalkeeper, Paul Robinson has scored, assisted, and won a penalty in the English Premier League. He has more assists (5) than any other goalkeeper in the league.
3. Real Madrid are the only team to have won the Spanish top division 5 times in succession, and they’ve done it twice. Once between the years 1961-1965, and again from 1986-1990.
4. South Korean player Ahn Jung-hwan, who scored and knocked Italy out of the 2002 World Cup, had his contract with his Italian club Perugia cancelled for “ruining Italian football.”
5. If we told you a Portuguese forward boasts of the best goals to game ratio recorded, you’d probably think we were talking about Cristiano Ronaldo or Eusebio. However, a forward by the name Fernando Peyroteo is the player in question here. He scored 331 goals in 187 games for Sporting Lisbon between 1937-1949, giving him a goals to game ratio of 1.77. He also scored 4 or more goals on 30 different occasions. Scary!
6. Brazilian magician Ronaldinho first gained media attention at the age of 13, when his team won a game 23-0. He scored each and every one of those goals.
7. Former Arsenal midfielder Alex Song has 27 siblings – 17 sisters and 10 brothers. That’s a whole football squad right there!
8. Mark Hughes once played two matches on the same day. He first played for Wales against Czechoslovakia in Prague, and then drove across the border to turn up for Bayern Munich in the afternoon.
9. The only English player to have played in a Champions League finals, but never win a cap for England is Jermaine Pennant. He played for Liverpool against AC Milan.
10. Denmark won the 1992 edition of the European Championship after initially failing to qualify for the tournament. Yugoslavia managed to get disqualified, and the Danes found out that they were allowed to participate 10 days before the start of the tournament. Classy.
