It's impressive is it not that Roy Keane beat Vinnie Jones for the number of red cards? But both were beaten by Zinedine Zidane who racked up a total of 14 in his career.

Man Utd didn't make it to the 2009 FA Cup Final, which was actually between Chelsea and Everton.

your right of course Admin Lois saha was playing for Everton when he scored the fastest goal.

Only Scottish and 1st British team to win the European Cup.

Celtic 1967

A few Champions League / European Cup Statistics:-

Only two clubs have appeared in the final more than once and have won both times. Nottingham Forest (1979 and 1980) and FC Porto (1987 and 2004).

Only four clubs have won the European Cup twice whilst remaining unbeaten in the tournament - Ajax, AC Milan, Liverpool and Manchester United.
