Demba Ba had a trial with us and Watford when a lad. Obviously didn't get the nod so went back to France for a few years.
Didnt realised it mentioned serves me right not reading ill have to think of a better interesting fact not mentioned on here!
Gordon Ramsey was almost a pro footballer (scouted by rangers) but knee injury ment he turned to cooking (and been a tw@t)
It was the more turn to cooking bit that was the interesting bit didn't realise he was classed as a chief (only kidding I'm sure his meals are lovely)
