8. Prior to the 2012 FA Cup final Tata Young and the Army Utd squad recorded a version of Status Quo's 'In the Army Now'. However, the disc had to be withdrawn after it was discovered that the club had failed to get permission from the ageing British rockers' publishing company.
9. Bootlegs of the above cd are currently rumoured to be changing hands for upwards of B5,000 on the black market.
10. Army Utd once tried to sign former Wimbledon, Leeds and Sheffield Utd hardman Vinnie Jones. However, Jones - a devout pacifist - rejected the offer on moral grounds.
