Football is a wonderful sport, having its own tales of success and failures. However, this sport also has its share of some U-turn stories those seem unbelievable in the first instance, but has actually happened.
- MANAGER FOR 10 MINUTES?
Unemployment strikes hard. But being employed for 10 minutes and then being dispersed can be a paramount disappointment. This actually happened back in 2007, when Mike Bateson, the owner of Torquay club made Leory Rosenior a manager for just 10 minutes till the sale of his club was finalised. We find it difficult to imagine what Rosenior went through.
- NOT QUALIFYING BUT A WINNER?
The final showdown of the Euro Championships 1992, was supposed to be between Yugoslavia and Germany. However fate favoured Sweden, who were given a spot in the finals as Yugoslavia was engulfed in a war and a split. Sweden outplayed world champions Germany to lift up the trophy.
- ‘LUCKY’ SHIRT?
In the mid-60s, Pele was going down the ladder. Quite worried about the decline in his form, he came up with a genuine justification-he had given away his ‘lucky’ jersey to a fan. Quite quickly, he hired a detective to get back the ‘lucky’ jersey, and got back to his great form soon after he got the jersey back.
Climax? Turns out, the detective actually brought him back a jersey which he had used in his earlier match, and not the ‘lucky’ jersey he was supposed to bring.
People don’t lie when they say it’s all about the confidence.
