Gary Lineker, famously never even booked throughout his entire professional career, can count himself lucky to still be on the pitch after taking a shit vs Cameroon (Italia 90)

It was against Ireland, and he didn't take a shit, he soiled himself

Just wondered how Strathspey Thistle are doing in the Highland League.

They lost 7-0 again on saturday, and 18 games in to the season have 5 points and a minus 73 goal difference.



Although they did win a match on 2 November

And they are only bottom of the league on goal difference, Banks O'Dee having had a 24 point deduction for player registration breaches...

I have just discovered there is a second team nicknamed the Hatters. I really should have know this as I've seen Palace play memorable games at both grounds as well as seeing both teams a few times at Selhurst. Doh.

Genuine question:

For Football Manager reasons, are there any stadiums named after the same person (excluding dieties and the like)?

Luton and Stockport?

Must be a few Victoria Parks, or is she too famous?
