1. A volcano stopped him from going to Blackburn Rovers

Shortly before moving to Dortmund, Lewandowski personally met Sam Allardyce about a potential deal to sign for Blackburn.He was then set to complete a switch to the Premier League side before the Eyjafjallajkull volcano in Iceland erupted in 2010.The volcano formed an ash cloud that heavily disrupted air travel and Lewandowski was unable to travel to England to seal the switch.He subsequently moved to Dortmund and the rest is history.7

Allardyce wanted to sign Lewandowski when he was at Blackburn

“I thought Allardyce was a good guy, a very good coach,” Lewandowski once told the Mail“The flight was booked but we couldn’t leave. Did it change my life? Yeah, maybe! If I’d gone there then perhaps I would have stayed. But then I found out about Dortmund, and that was the next step,”
