There was something so unusual about Fenerbahce's 1-1 draw with Manisaspor in Istanbul on Tuesday(July of last year) that it is surely destined to feature in quizzes for years to come. After their fans had stormed the pitch during a pre-season friendly against Ukraine's Shakhtar Donetsk, Fenerbahce were originally poised to be handed the more usual punishment of being forced to play two league games in an empty stadium.

X, as a book character has had several anecdotes attached to him.
