In the 1999 World Cup match against Sri Lanka (actually the group-stage encounter, not the famous 1996 semifinal), Saurav Ganguly was injured just before the match.

The 1991 UEFA Super Cup was originally scheduled to be played over two legs between Manchester United (European Cup winners) and Red Star Belgrade (Cup Winners' Cup winners).
