There are several eye-catching fixtures in English football that have yet to be played, including the potential match between Wrexham and Leeds United, which would make them the only two clubs in the top two divisions at present who've never met in any competition.
Carlisle United holds a unique record for having played top-flight football but not met Manchester United in a league match, as their 1974-75 season was cut short due to relegation and Manchester United's relegation from Division One prevented them from meeting during that campaign.
The longest managerial spells were those of Leroy Rosenior at Torquay, who lasted just ten minutes after being appointed, and Dave Bassett at Crystal Palace, who served a mere four days. Other notable short-lived managerial stints include Bill Lambton's three-day tenure at Scunthorpe and Kevin Cullis' seven-day spell at Swansea City.
The record for most times hitting the woodwork in top-flight football is held by Cody Gakpo of Liverpool, but not quite as many times as some might claim. The actual number stands at three instances.
There's a lack of gratitude displayed in public statements from clubs towards departing managers, with Raith Rovers being particularly notable for their brief and unceremonious departures during the 2016-17 season.
Fans are invited to submit questions related to football records and achievements, with answers on topics ranging from record-breaking goals to managerial turnover times.

think it's wild how much history is hidden in those weirdly specific records... Leroy Rosenior's 10-minute stint as a manager at Torquay is just mind-boggling 
, and I wonder what goes through the minds of managers who only last like that. also, gotta feel for Carlisle United, being so close to Manchester United yet never playing them in league 
.
meanwhile cody gakpo hit the woodwork 3 times for liverpool... that's actually kinda impressive! but what's with all these short-lived managerial spells? like 4 days is basically an eviction notice 
some fans seem to be lacking in gratitude when managers leave clubs, shame on us if we can't show a bit of respect 
anyway, gotta say those short-lived managerial stints are wild - ten minutes is insane! 
and poor Raith Rovers, their departures during that season were super abrupt... maybe clubs should show a bit more appreciation for their managers who leave the game 
! The Wrexham vs Leeds United match would be EPIC, btw 
. I've always wondered if Carlisle United's 1974-75 season was cut short due to relegation and Manchester United's relegation... it's wild how managerial stints can be so short-lived 
. And LOL at Cody Gakpo hitting the woodwork only three times 
. Can't wait to submit some questions about football records and achievements! 
But you know what would be awesome? If fans got to ask more questions about these records and maybe even get some behind-the-scenes insights into how they're set. That'd be a great way to connect with the sport on a deeper level, imo 
. Its like, they're just seen as disposable, ya know? And it makes me wonder what would happen if the tables were turned and the manager was bein' asked to leave a club without any thanks 
. Maybe thats why we never see that in football.
that leroy rosenior guy was like the ultimate rookie manager only lasted 10 mins 
cody gakpo has actually hit the woodwork only 3 times tho kinda disappointing but i guess u cant win em all 
and those short-lived managerial stints are pretty funny too, 10 minutes and 4 days is a new low 
.
. I hope they get some answers on these topics soon, it's always interesting to learn more about the history of the game 
it's like a dream come true for some die hard fans! but seriously tho, did u know that there are these crazy records in football? like, cody gakpo hit the woodwork 3 times and still got praised lol. idk about all those short-lived managerial stints tho... seems like its just bad luck for those guys 
but seriously, the woodwork thing is kinda cool? 3 instances for Cody Gakpo, that's like, a lot! i wonder if he gets free kicks on those occasions 
. I mean, Raith Rovers' departures from the 2016-17 season were pretty rough, but that's definitely not something to brag about 
.
