World Cup Final Results 1930–2014 The FIFA World Cup has grown from a small tournament comprising 13 teams from Europe and South America (USA and Mexico participated too) to 32 nations from five continents battling it out in the most widely followed sporting event in the world. There have been 20 to date, each one as spectacular as the last. Every tournament has had its amazing stories, controversies, moments that took our breath away and heartbreak that saw us plunge into despair. Behind all these iconic events, what remains (apart from memories) are these simple facts – the statistics that mark each country’s triumphs and disappointments in black and white. Make of these what you will… Source: Google (October 2015)

LONG-RANGE WORLD CUP GOALS Everyone loves a shot at goal from far out, especially if it’s on target and struck with an awesome power to match. In particular, long-range goals during World Cups are even more wondrous to behold because they instantly take on legendary status. Those long-rangers that live forever in the memory include Bobby Charlton’s 25-yard strike against Mexico which fired up England’s 1966 campaign, Arie Haan’s 40-yard lightning-bolt as the Netherlands defeated Italy in 1978 and James Rodríguez’s sensational chest and volley against Uruguay in 2014. All excellent goals, but where do they map in the long-range pantheon?

FA Cup Winners and Runners-up Although overshadowed in recent times by the Premier League, the FA Cup remains the showpiece of English football. First played in the 1871–72 season, the English FA Cup is the oldest football competition in the world. Open to the top 10 levels of English football, the tournament includes hundreds of non-league teams (in 1901, Tottenham Hotspur became the only non-league team ever to win the trophy). Since 1923, the final has been played at Wembley (old and new) apart from the period between 2001 and 2006, when it was hosted at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Source: Opta (May 2017)

FA Cup Winners and Runners-up KEY: Among the many gems of FA Cup trivia are that Wigan Athletic are the only club to win the FA Cup and be relegated from the Premier League in the same season (2013); Leicester City have reached the final four times but have never won the cup; and Ashley Cole holds a record seven FA Cup winner’s medals through his victories with Arsenal and Chelsea.

In 1873, the first defending FA Cup holders, The Wanderers, were given a bye straight to the final at a venue of their choice: Lillie Bridge near Earls Court in London. The honour was never repeated and the finals returned to the Kennington Oval. The 1886 replay took place at Derbyshire County Cricket Club’s Racecourse Ground, the first time an FA Cup Final was played outside London.

La Liga Top Goalscorers 1998–2017 Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo tower over La Liga goalscoring records. Their lead is considerable, but they also score around a goal a game – almost twice the rate of others in the chart. The only player in the league’s history whose record stands the equal of these modern superstars is the great Telma Zarra. He played at Athletic Bilbao for 15 seasons, scoring at nearly a goal a game and helping Bilbao to a league title in 1943. His name now lives on in the award given to La Liga’s top Spanish goalscorer each season.

In the 2010–11 season Cristiano Ronaldo became the first La Liga player for 20 years to score at a ratio of over a goal per game. Since then the feat has been achieved every season, Lionel Messi achieving the best ratio of 1.44 in 2012–13.

Most Successful European Managers Since 1960 No matter how wealthy the club, it is a magnificent feat to guide a club to a league title. It is something else to take them to European success. Repeating the achievement takes a coach to legendary status. Separating the greatest from the great, however, is a tougher call. How do we rank Bob Paisley’s European and League titles against Helenio Herrera’s record? And, how much greater an achievement are the against-the-odds European triumphs of José Mourinho’s Porto or Jock Stein’s Celtic? 11
