Andy Kellett joins Manchester United and 15 other weird stories from transfer deadline day

Every transfer deadline day you wonder why football clubs, who on the surface are supposed to be efficiently run businesses, often leave things so late.

From one player falling asleep in the airport to another driving to London only to be locked out, we collect together the weirdest deadline day tales, including one from the latest window - the arrival of Andy Kellett at Manchester United.
