With Donald Trump once again taking the helm as President Of The United States, it's perhaps understandable that he might have forgotten about his involvement in the Rumbelows League Cup back in 1992.
Back then, the now incumbent US president was still in his 40s - minus the tan and bleached hair - when he was invited to participate in the cup draw alongside Ian St John and Jimmy Greaves, better known as Saint and Greavsie.
The duo became household names in the late 80s for their comedy-infused football punditry shows on ITV from 1985 to 1992. Before their TV show came to an end, however, they managed to secure a bit of a coup by getting Trump to conduct the League Cup quarter-final draw live from his Trump Towers boardroom.

Then-Football League secretary David Dent supervised the draw with Greaves selecting the home teams and Trump choosing the away sides.
"I told you, didn't I," Greaves said with a smile during the clip that emerged overnight, making reference at landing Trump to conduct the draw.
The camera then panned to Trump smiling awkwardly after before Greaves shook hands and complimented Trump's office, while adding how it reminded him of a certain Doug Ellis's back at Villa Park.
"This is some pad you've got here, isn't it," the brilliant Greaves said with a smile. "I tell you this is beautiful. I haven't seen a boardroom like this since I was in Doug Ellis's at Aston Villa."
That very Villa comment made Trump cackle with real amusement, almost as if he'd previously sat in Ellis's office in B6 himself.
So, as Greavsie used to say, it's a funny old game.
