FOOTBALL BY THE NUMBERS

Philip Cornwall looks at the numbers that counted at Wembley and elsewhere in the last week..

0 The number of goals scored in England v Saudi Arabia.

1 The number of goals scored for Charlton by Richard Rufus in his 165 games.

2 The number of players who had to change their shorts on the pitch during the Division Three play-off final - Rodney Jack of Torquay and Colchester's David Greene.

3 The number of play-offs won by teams occupying the away end at Wembley.

4 The number of play-off finals so far decided on penalties.

5 The number of pounds lost by Scotland's Kevin Gallacher due to food poisoning contracted from a dodgy prawn sandwich.

6 The number of Sunderland players who scored penalties against Charlton.

7 The number of England players left in Glenn Hoddle's squad who won't make it to France after Jamie Redknapp's withdrawal.

8 The number of goals shared by Charlton and Sunderland.


 
  9 The number of different teams to be promoted to the top flight via the play-offs. Only Blackburn (1992) and Leicester (1996) have not subsequently been relegated, and Leicester went down after their 1994 play-off win.

10 The number of goals scored across four matches in four days at Wembley, with seven of them coming after half time in the final match.

11 The number of times Darren Anderton has played a full 90 minutes, all for Tottenham, between the two hours he played in the Euro 96 semi-final and his full game for England v Saudi Arabia.

32 The number of years Real Madrid went without winning the European Cup, 1966 to 1998.

35 The number of goals scored this season by Kevin Phillips, breaking Brian Clough's post-war Sunderland record.

160,213 The total attendance at the play-off finals, a record in spite of the Division Three match being played on a Friday night. The other two crowds were records for their divisions.

£700m The estimated expenditure by the French on the World Cup, which compares unfavourably with £250m, their estimated share of the income. The rest must be recouped through tourism.
