Mark Hughes played two matches in one day.
On 11th November 1987. He first played for Wales in a midday kick-off in a Euro 88' qualifier against Czechoslovakia, before he was rushed onto a plane to play for his Bayern side who faced Borussia Monchengladbach in the DFB Pokal later that day. Hughes arrived late but was used as a 57' substitute and subsequently made history.

The yellow, green and blue kit synonymous with Brazil was only introduced in 1953 after a national newspaper competition to find a replacement for the cream/ beige strip they'd played in previously losing to Uruguay at home in the 1950 world cup final.

Think he should have been doing his college studies or similar as a teen but put them on hold Actually to be more precise.. he was born in Brazil in a frontier town, but always felt more of a Uruguayan identity, worked in Uruguay, supported Uruguayan teams etc. Here's an excerpt from the book I read about it: "For a man whose best-known work is the strongest symbol of Brazilian identity, it comes as a surprise to learn that Aldyr supports Uruguay. In fact, I should have guessed by his choice of restaurant. His allegiance could not be clearer if he rode a horse around Pelotas in sky-blue jodhpurs singing the national anthem. At his home, a few miles out of Pelotas, a metal plaque with the word Uruguay is visible as soon as you walk in the front door. For good measure he has stuck a Uruguayan flag on the side of his car. Not only is the man responsible for the international image of Brazil unpatriotic, but he shares sympathies with Uruguay: the country that caused the need for his design in the first place." |

Some wear Royal crest colours etc Netherlands Italy Germany Japan Australia New Zealand off the top of my head and Brazil previously |

People probably know it but I still find this one mind-boggling:
This season is the first since 1930-31 when none of Stanley Matthews, Peter Shilton or Gianluigi Buffon make a first-team appearance.

Brian Deane made 3 notable achievements in one game. Playing for Sheffield Utd vs Man Utd In August 92 he became the first player to score a premiership goal at the same time also becoming the first black player to score a premiership goal. He also scored the first premiership goal from a penalty in that game.
