Sven football goes mad: From Cloughie to Carlos - crazy moves that shocked the game

Baz Luhrmann almost had it right

in his excruciatingly bad pop tune 'Sunscreen'.

He tells us 'the real troubles in life are the things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.'

Sven Goran Eriksson

Centre of attention: Sven Goran Eriksson is unveiled at Meadow Lane

Baz was close, as it had never crossed my troubled mind that Sven Goran Eriksson would join Notts County. But he was unveiled at 12pm on a Wednesday - so, what does he know?

Anyway, the news of Sven's arrival in the East Midlands is a massive coup for the minnows and a decision that has rocked football.

And to mark the Swede's drop from the World Cup to League Two, here's five other moves that shocked the game.

Brian Clough

Cloughie was rated as one of the best young managers in the country in 1973 after transforming lower league Derby into Division One champions.

More success followed, with the Rams reaching the semi-final of the European Cup, so it came as more than a surprise when he left and joined Division Three side Brighton.
