The Great Train Robbers were all season ticket holders at Third Lanark. They had met eighteen months earlier, during a 4-0 home defeat by Celtic in a Scottish Cup quarter-final replay, and came up with the robbery as a means of funding the purchase of some new players. The loss of so much income when they were jailed was one of the main causes of the club going into liquidation.

Rudyard Kipling was inspired to write The Jungle Book after a visit to Celtic Park. The sight of feral children and rabid dogs roaming the streets outside the ground sparked off an idea in his mind, and once he got inside and observed the home support the rest all fell into place, including King Louie and his followers and even the title of the book itself.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship was originally going to be called the "Penultimate Fighting championship" until the pessimistic organisers thought they probably couldn't make people watch a second tournament.

They were pleasantly surprised by their own success and almost 200 sequels later they keep the "UFC" name just to remind themselves not to take it's continued popularity for granted.

Gary Lineker and Mark Lawrenson are actually neighbours, with Lineker eventually asking the BBC to limit the time Lawrenson spends around him wherever possible after he moved in next door and claimed to know what he ate for breakfast.

Before the Iceland game Lineker said (off-air) that if England lost he would present the quarter-final game with his knob out. After the final whistle he paid the BBC half a million quid to wipe the tape.
