Adebayor's beanie hat row
Emmanuel Adebayor and former Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas fell out over a beanie hat.
At the beginning of the season, the Spurs striker walked into a team meeting wearing a hat and the Portuguese boss asked him to remove it; a request Adebayor declined.
The pair exchanged heated words and during the argument Villas-Boas vowed not to play the striker.
Adebayor played no part in the season as a result of that clash, except for one appearance as a half-time substitute during the 6-0 humbling by Manchester City.
Since Villas-Boas was sacked, the striker has been restored by new boss Tim Sherwood, who has reaped the rewards.
The striker has given Spurs a new lease of life and netted four times in five appearances.
