Favourite Sports Stat
What's your favourite sports stat?
I know its less relevant now, but the one about Peter Schmeichel winning a title, having a son, and that son winning the title, all before Liverpool won the title again will take some beating for me.

Leeds United went 58 games and 5273 minutes without being awarded a penalty kick. In the modern era of the game that is just an amazing statistic
Re: Favourite Sports Stat
I think Leeds United have had a homegrown player in their match day squad every game for something like 40 years. Not sure how true it is, or if I’ve the right team . Sure someone can research, I can’t be arsed.

Re: Favourite Sports Stat
Similar to Dyched post, but Man Utd have had a homegrown player in every matchday squad since something like 1948.

In 2007, Leroy Rosenior returned to former club Torquay United as manager, and was promptly sacked after roughly ten minutes.
I'm sure that's still the record for the shortest managerial spell.

Re: Favourite Sports Stat
Don’t we have a similar stat? Maybe not 58 games, but considerable nonetheless.Devils_Advocate wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 1:40 pmLeeds United went 58 games and 5273 minutes without being awarded a penalty kick. In the modern era of the game that is just an amazing statistic

Re: Favourite Sports Stat
I read a stat that the last time Spurs won the League was actually closer in history to the Victorian times than today. Burnley last won the league a couple of years before them, so that put us in that time frame as well
