Footy's Forgotten #3: Jussi Jääskeläinen

Jussi Jääskeläinen was a goalkeeper, who played between 1992 & 2018 for the likes of Bolton Wanderers & West Ham United, amongst others.

Born on April 19th, 1945, in Mikkeli, Finland, he started his career at Mikkelin Palloilijat (MP), where he made his debut in 1992. He would play 64 times for the club until 1995, when he joined Vaasan Palloseura (VPS). There, he would make 54 appearances, helping the club to a 3rd place finish in the Veikkausliiga, before joining Bolton Wanderers for £100,000 in 1997.

After a season on the bench, he became the club's first choice goalkeeper, although missed out on the half of Bolton's promotion-winning season of 2000-01 season due to a cruciate ligament injury.

During the 2003-04 season, he helped Bolton to reach the 2003-04 League Cup final, where they lost to a Middlesbrough side which contained Mark Schwarzer, Gareth Southgate, Gaizka Mendieta, Boudewijn Zenden, & Juninho.

The 2006-07 season saw him lead Bolton to a 7th place finish in the Premier League, qualifying them for their 2nd UEFA Cup in 3 years. This earned him Bolton Wanderer's Player of the Year, as well as the 2007 Finnish Footballer of the Year.

He left Bolton at the end of the 2011-12 season, following Bolton's relegation to the Football League Championship. By this point, he had played 527 games for the club, including 474 in the league, & 11 in the UEFA Cup.

He officially joined West Ham United in June 2012, where he made 57 appearances for the Hammers between 2012 & 2015, notably helping them reach the 2013-14 League Cup semi-finals, where they lost 9-0 on agg. to Manchester City.

In 2015, he joined Wigan Athletic, helping them win the EFL League One in his first season. He would leave in 2017, before playing 1 game for ATK in India, retiring in January 2018.

On the international stage, Jääskeläinen played 56 games for Finland between 1998 & 2010. His debut came in March 1998, in a 2-0 win against Malta. However, despite this, he never played at an international tournament.

As a coach, he joined Wrexham as a goalkeeper coach under former Bolton teammate Sam Ricketts. He temporarily became a joint-caretaker manager alongside Graham Barrow & Carl Darlington for Wrexham's 0-0 FA Cup draw against Newport County, before going back to a goalkeeper coach. He would leave the club in June 2019 He also had a brief management career, as the joint-caretaker manager of 🇬🇧Wrexham AFC in 2018.

He has two sons who are also in football. His oldest, Will Jääskeläinen, currently plays for Woking, having previously played 4 games for Crewe Alexandra. Meanwhile, his youngest, Emil Jääskeläinen, currently plays for LIU Sharks, the soccer team of Long Island University.

Oldham Athletic - Five Potential Replacements For David Unsworth - Opinion

It’s safe to say – after pre-season expectations that this year would be finally be the one that saw promotion back to the EFL – that not everything has quite gone to plan at Oldham nine matches into the new National League season. Only one win in the league to date at the time of writing, which came in the second match of the campaign versus Aldershot, has seen the Latics sink to a lowly 22nd…

Hilarious Football Facts You Probably Didn't Know!

Football, the beautiful game, is full of intense moments, incredible skill, and... a lot of funny facts! Here are some of the quirkiest and most amusing facts from the world of football that will make you chuckle:

The Longest Goal Ever Scored: In 2013, Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begović scored a goal just 13 seconds into a match against Southampton. The ball traveled an astonishing 91.9 meters (100.5 yards). Talk about putting your foot in it!

The Strange Case of the Expanding Pitch: The home pitch of Sheffield United, Bramall Lane, had a bizarre tradition. During halftime, the pitch used to be widened! This was possible because Bramall Lane was originally a cricket ground, and the boundary ropes would be pulled back for the second half.

When a Referee Scored a Goal: In 2001, a referee named Jose Maria Garcia-Aranda awarded himself a goal during a match between Deportivo La Coruña and Real Madrid. The ball ricocheted off him and into the net. Thankfully, the goal didn't stand!

The Dog Who Stopped a Match: In 1962, a stray dog ran onto the pitch during a World Cup match between Brazil and England. Despite several attempts to catch it, it was Jimmy Greaves who finally succeeded. As a thank-you, the dog promptly peed on him.

Red Card for... Farting: In 2009, a Swedish footballer was sent off for farting. Yes, you read that right. The referee considered it unsportsmanlike behavior and showed him a second yellow card. The player later clarified it was an accident due to a stomach upset.

Own Goal King: Richard Dunne holds the record for the most own goals in the Premier League, with 10. He turned this unfortunate record into a kind of art form.

The Chicken on the Field: Blackburn Rovers fans once released a live chicken onto the pitch during a match against Wigan Athletic to protest against the club’s owners, who happened to be poultry farmers. The match was briefly halted as players and officials tried to catch the runaway fowl.

The Missing World Cup Trophy: The World Cup trophy was stolen in 1966, just before the tournament in England. It was found seven days later by a dog named Pickles, who became a national hero overnight.

The 149-0 Match: In a bizarre protest against refereeing decisions, Madagascar club SO l'Emyrne deliberately scored 149 own goals in a match against AS Adema in 2002. That’s one way to show your displeasure!

The Manager's Half-Time Pep Talk: Former Aston Villa manager Ron Atkinson once gave an inspiring halftime speech... to the wrong team. He entered the opponents’ dressing room by mistake and only realized his error after several minutes of confused looks.

Football is not just about goals, glory, and heartbreak; it's also filled with moments of humor and absurdity. These funny facts remind us that sometimes, the best part of the game is the unexpected laughter it brings.
