Diego Forlan breaks his ankle after missing the coach step - scuppering a planned swap deal with an unnamed Accrington Stanley striker.
Bobby Robson forgets he's the manager of Newcastle and goes missing. A nationwide search finds him at a Darby and Joan Christmas do in Barrow.

JANUARY:
Transfer window re-opens. Chelsea buy up every player in the Premiership, apart from Emile Heskey - but are forced to loan players back so the season can continue.
Graeme Souness replaces David Dunn and Damien Duff with Donald Duck and Dick Dastardly, but insists Blackburn are not a Mickey Mouse club.

Leeds lose in the fourth round of the Cup to Sidcup Shelf-stackers.
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------

Steve Staunton error costs Villa place in the quarter-finals of the Cup. "He's only a young boy," says David O'Leary.

APRIL:

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------
MAY:
The Champions League final between Chelsea and Real Madrid is abandoned when players' requests to have their dressing rooms painted peach and filled with lillies are refused.
Liverpool win the title following 15 successive 1-0 wins. Southampton claim the FA Cup - Gordon Strachan spontaneously combusts on the touchline.
Chelsea finish the season potless. Roman Abramovich resigns and Chelsea are forced to sell all their players.
Well, it could happen.
But I thought saying that it's been done before may have given people an idea...
I got it in an email and don't know where it came from...
The BBC Sport website that is.
I think Staunton might/has joined Coventry.
