There have been instances where a player has been shown a second yellow card while being substituted. In 1980, Stoke City's Denis Smith was sent off for time-wasting after limping towards the touchline with an injured ankle and lingering on it as his substitute Paul Johnson wasn't properly warmed up.
Later that year, Sheffield Wednesday's Jermaine Johnson received another yellow card for kicking a water bottle into the home support after being subbed. This happened after he had been booked earlier in the game for a foul.
A more recent instance came about in 2013, when Clarence Seedorf, of Botafogo, was booked twice while trying to leave the pitch with his head held high.
There are instances where countries have refused to participate in World Cup tournaments due to various reasons. For example, Scotland declined to participate in the 1950 World Cup after finishing second in their qualifying group.
Other fascinating facts about football include instances of brawling teammates, most notably between Tony Rees and Tommy Watson, who both got sent off in a match for Grimsby against Darlington.
