SOME BANK HOLIDAY FACTS
Chelsea is the only team to hold the Europa League and the Champions League at the same time. In 2012, The Blues won their first Champions League. The following season with Rafa Benitez at the helm, The Blues won the Europa League Final on May 15th. The Champions League Final was due on the 25th of May, for 10 days only! Chelsea were holders of both titles.
Matt Busby played for Manchester and Liverpool, racking up over 300 appearances as a played for United's two biuggest rivals. Busby then led the Red Devils to their first European Cup victory, defining the path that the cub wasa follow for a half-century.
Nemanja Vidic is the only Premier League winner with a surname made entirely of Roman Numerals! V= five, I is one, D is 500, I (yes, the same) and C is 100. (left Mr and Mrs Vidic!)
Portsmouth FC holds the record for havng held the FA Cup for the longest period-seven years! Pompey won it in 1939 and since there was no professional football during the Second World War (1939-45), they held it for that peaceful period (football peaceful that is!).
Italy held the World Cup from 1934 to 1950, despite only winning it ONCE in that time of seven years despite (16 years) and over what would have been four tournaments.
