Curse of the captain's armband

I'm beginning to seriously think that the Fulham Captain's armband is cursed...Just about everyone who has worn it over the past 10 years has either been sold while in situ or suffered a serious injury. If you don't believe me, look at the list below. If i've missed anyone out - or you think I've made any mistakes - please let me know...

1. Chris Coleman - suffers badly smashed leg in car crash back in January 2001
2. Andy Melville - sold to West Ham while captain
3. Lee Clarke - departed the club while captain, ending up at Newcastle
4. Boa Morte - suffered a broken cheek bone - later sold to West Ham
5. * Zat Knight - took over from Boa, then had his jaw broken a week later
6. Michael Brown - sold to Wigan while still club captain
7. Brian McBride - suffers serious knee injury

* never officially club captain, only vice captain

Basically our captain needs to be someone we either want to get rid of - or who we wouldn't miss so badly if they got injured! Any suggestions?
