Ian Tizzard: Not a kit as such, but during the "footballers dying their hair" phase in late 90's, I dyed mine black. By the time I got on the pitch in the pouring rain, I had dye running down my face and stinging my eyes. I had to leave the pitch for several minutes to wash it out. Try explaining that to coach .

You know what - this actually happened to a Premier League footballer. Here's the story.

Stoke are sporting their brand spanking new third kit at the Vitality Stadium today.

Will it bring them any luck? They haven't scored in the Premier League for a month...

Have a listen, why don't you?

West Ham fans had something to celebrate this week - Dimitri Payet signed a new five-and-a-half year contract at the club.

The 28-year-old arrived in the summer from Marseille for £10m and has been instrumental in helping the Hammers move up to sixth place in the Premier League. 

West Ham owner David Gold called Payet the best player he'd signed in 25 years and added: "He's a supreme footballer. He makes every player in our side play better. On his day, he's world class, he's unstoppable."

Will he prove he's worth it at Norwich today?

Stuart McCash: Using sellotape to hold up football socks never ended well, ripping it off felt like cheesewire on the top of your calves.

Joe: Bought a fancy pair of boots which had padded in built cushions in the heel for 'comfort'. Blisters, infection and a three-day stay in the hospital from the resulting infected lympnodes ensued. 

This is making me a bit queasy... 

Norwich are only a point away from escaping the Premier League drop zone.

But Alex Neil's side find themselves in a difficult run of form...

Heart-melting story of the week? 

Look no further than nine-year-old George Shaw beating his Everton idols to take the prize for the club's goal of the month award.

George, who has cerebral palsy, a condition which affects how your muscles work, was invited on to the pitch at Goodison Park at half-time during a recent game against Swansea by Gerard Deulofeu to take a shot at goal.

He received 86% of the fans’ vote, with midfielder Ross Barkley in second place on 6%. 

With three goals in five starts for Bournemouth, Benik Afobe has had no problems settling into life in the Premier League.

But the 22-year-old has been hurt by claims from Wolves that he was not trying during his final five months at the club before his £9m move to the Cherries...

Connor Robson: Broke my laces. Went to cross a ball, hit our captain with my boot. Nasty gash below the eye. Been put in the walls ever since. 

Flemming Jensen: Umpired baseball in shorts with no cup (behind home plate), player fouls ball off the plate, up the trouser leg it went...pain!

Oooh, snazzy. Thoughts, Stoke fans?

What a season it's been for Premier League leaders Leicester City so far.

And influential winger Riyad Mahrez says the club's battle against relegation last term has helped the Foxes in their challenge for the title this time round.

Leicester were bottom with seven games to go last season but stayed up, and now top the division by five points.

You can read Mahrez's interview here and watch him on Football Focus on BBC One from 12:10 GMT.

Michael Roughton: First time ice skating. Fell over and kicked one shin with the end of the blade on the other skate. So much swelling!

Liverpool were knocked out of the FA Cup by West Ham in midweek yet former Reds defender Mark Lawrenson is predicting a 2-0 Norwich win over the Hammers today.

"The Hammers are not playing that well anyway," adds Lawro.

That's not gone down too well in east London...

As we mentioned earlier, Manchester United are one of the world’s biggest clubs.

But where exactly does your club fit in? We look at some of their rivals.

Lee Johnson followed in the footsteps of his dad, Gary, this week and took over as boss at Bristol City.

The Championship strugglers face Ipswich at home in his first game as head coach, and the former City midfielder has taken the time to tweet about it...

Gordon Hart: Footy trainers caused bleeding under both big toenails, both nails fell off. Hospital thought I had broke both toes. I hadn't.

Zac Fitzgerald: The classic 'not wearing a t-shirt under the football shirts with the club crest over your nipples' and your nipples being red raw afterwards.

This is putting me right off my breakfast...

Six hundred and fifty nine million fans, 116 million social media followers. More than £1bn from sponsors. Twenty league titles. Three European Cups. And from next season, they will get a share of the 71% rise in domestic broadcast revenue, making them the richest club in the world.

We ask why the Manchester United brand continues to dominate globally, despite a slide in performance on the pitch since Sir Alex Ferguson's managerial exit in 2013.

This is a great read for all football fans.

Manchester United have only lost once in 2016, but Louis van Gaal still can't catch a break when it comes to his future at Old Trafford.

Reports circulated last week that club officials had held talks with ex-Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho's representatives.

When asked whether he thought there had been talks, Van Gaal said: "In football that is possible, but I do not think that."  

Ever been injured by sports kit?

We want to know.

Josh Tumbridge: New school Football Jerseys caused sever nipple chaffage. We went on to lose 18-0. 

KAZ OLAWALE: I got injured by my football boot in an academy set-up as a teen, my toe was almost ripped off. I was considering quitting.
