Inspired by the Aguero not being a PotY conversation, what other facts do you know that sound like they shouldn't be true but are?

I'll start with a couple.

Jens Lehmann went a whole season in the Champions League without conceding a goal, and got all the way to the final.

Sergio Ramos has scored more goals than Andres Iniesta.

    For many years (certainly up until the 1990’s), Aldershot Towns playing surface was the biggest in the country.....the pitch markings itself were not the biggest, hence it wasn’t the biggest pitch, but the grass area on which the pitch stood was the biggest.
    Not a lot of people know that!
    It may still be for all I know.

    Just looked it up, the award started September 2013 so perhaps not as amazing as it first sounds.

    Although even going 2 years without Messi winning 1 month is probably a surprise.
