7) Tim Sherwood and THAT Gilet

North London derbies. They get to people. Here’s Tim Sherwood doing exactly what most right minded people would do if they looked down and realised they were wearing a gilet. From Made In Chelsea to TOWIE in one fell throw of the gilet.

8) Manager In Peru Goes In For A Tackle

For anyone considering a career as a football manager, it’s probably best to leave the 50-50 balls to the players to contest. Referees aren’t fond of managers doing it for some reason. Against the rules or something apparently.

9) Steve Evans. In General.

Convicted tax fraudster and general hooligan on the touchline, Rotherham manager Steve Evans must surely go down as one of the most hated managers in England. The indiscretions are so numerate that this piece will have to make do with the edited highlights.

These include, among other things, committing widespread tax fraud to pay his players wages at Boston, being arrested and ejected at half time of a match in Grimsby, of which he was the away manager, for his touchline conduct, engaging in a touchline/dressing room spat with then-Gillingham boss Andy Hessenthaler that ended with police in both dressing rooms and a claim for racist abuse made and withdrawn to Sussex police by the Scot Evans, and most recently a six game stadium ban for exposing himself to a female steward in a game at Bradford City.

A lovely man. These guys don’t like him either.

10) This Guy

Dugouts these days. They just don’t make ‘em like they used to.

11) Jurgen Klopp Loses Control

Earlier this season, Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp was sent off for this display of aggression during his side’s Champions League game with Napoli. We would not like to be that fourth official.

12) Jose Mourinho

Calmly walking over to a fracas, then Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho looked to the calmest man in shot for most of this clip. That is until he poked former Barcelona boss, the late Tito Vilanova, in the eye.

He does angry as well though. Just ask Anthony Taylor.
