Didi Hamann signing for Bolton from Liverpool in 2006, Hamann changing his mind, so Manchester City bought him for £400,000. Bolton made nearly half a million profit on a player who never played for them.

Kane on corners

England losing to Iceland and everyone dunking on them

England players mid-match, possibly one of the group stage games but I can't remember, deciding amongst themselves to mutiny against the coaching staff and replacing Kane with Rooney on corners.

Roy Hodgson glancing at the stadium big screen midway through the second half of the Iceland game, noticing everyone was watching him, and putting his hand to his face to make it look like he was deep in thought about how to resolve the conundrum his side had found itself in.

Roy Hodgson going on a boat trip down the Seine with Ray Lewington instead of going to watch Iceland play. His reasoning was sound, though...Lewington had never been to Paris.

I didn't personally mind this one all that much. Its looks really bad, and I'd probably prefer Hodgson to scout the game personally, but I believe G Neville and the scouting team were at the game to watch Iceland.

Ray Lewington having never seen Paris was a fantastic reason mind you.

also the time that he tried to prank Gary Neville with a fake policeman who was supposed to do increasingly elaborate demands for Neville to get out of a speeding ticket, the first of which was just asking him for an autograph, which Neville flatly refused and told him to take him to the station instead

This included David Beckham suspecting he’s being kidnapped, prompting him to jump out of his chauffeured car in the middle of Moss Side in Manchester.

That was a thing for 2010 in South Africa too, which I think went so far as to say that FIFA and its the World Cup venues were essentially their own micronation and whatever their rules and regulations were superseded any parts of the South African constitution that it clashed with during the tournament.

And yet, vuvuzelas were still allowed.

Yep this is right. I distinctly remember reading about how only FIFA approved vendors could operate within a certain number of kilometres around the WC stadiums. Sensational.
