Interesting Fact - Football
The colour of the West German football team's away strip was green.
(This is allegedly in honour of the fact that the first team who would play them after WWII was Ireland. Unfortunately it looks as if the truth is more mundane, in that it's the Deutscher Futball-Bund's official colour. Of course it's all moot now, as the away colours are black, which is probably in honour of John Player.)
