The regret normally associated with birthday cakes is when you greedily stuff your face with too much of it. But in Yaya Toure's case, it came when he didn't get enough.
Manchester City had just secured their second Premier League title two days prior. Things couldn't have been better on the blue side of Manchester as they once again wrestled control back off neighbours United for what would be the decisive time. Then, two days later, a bizarre controversy broke out.
It all kicked off as Toure's agent, Dimitri Seluk, claimed City had not appropriately marked the midfield lynchpin's birthday, sparking wild speculation over a missing birthday cake. Despite the ridiculous scenario, it seriously threatened his stay at the Etihad.
