11. Trevor Francis
Former Crystal Palace Simon Jordan made some strange decisions during his time in East London, one of them being the timing of his sacking of coach Trevor Francis back in 2003. Speaking with the press shortly after it went down, Jordan explained, “Trevor Francis didn’t take it very well. He just sat there quietly and said ‘But it’s my birthday.’ I had no idea, what could I do? I said ‘Many happy returns, Trev,’ and gave him his P45 (employment certificate).” For he’s a not-so-jolly fellow!
