Near misses

The more you read about Ravel Morrison, the more you have to conclude we dodged a bullet by missing out on him.

The Belgian midfielder, now with Russian outfit Terek Grozny, recently managed the impressive feat of mistaking an accelerator for a brake pedal and crashed his Porsche into a petrol station.
