FRIDAY'S BIG STORIES Staying Put Ad For an hour or so, a certain section of the internet got very excited indeed.

Another enterprising fan then claimed to have found some traffic camera footage showing that same van on its way to London.
Premier League clubs broke their transfer window record and spent more than Italian, French and Spanish sides combined. The clubs spent almost £2 billion on players in the summer transfer window.

Football Federation (AIFF) on Friday got a former player as its first president in its 85-year history with Kalyan Chaubey beating the legendary Bhaichung Bhutia in the election for the top post here. The 45-year-old Chaubey, a former goalkeeper with Mohun Bagan and East Bengal, won 33-1, a result that was expected as former captain Bhutia did not have many supporters in the 34-member voters' list made up of state association representatives. The 'Sikkimese Sniper', also 45, could not even get his state association representative as proposer or seconder for filing his nomination papers.
Kalyan Chaubey on Friday was elected as the new president of All India Football Federation (AIFF). Former India captain Bhaichung Bhutia was also in contention for the president's post but he ended up losing the election to Chaubey. Bhutia received just one vote whereas Chaubey received 33 votes. As a result of this victory, Chaubey has also become the first player-president of India's governing body for football.
