When West Brom striker's injury woes were solved in the most peculiar manner
We delve into the archives to look at one of the stranger stories from West Bromwich Albion’s past - when Baggies striker Roman Bednar cured a niggly back injury in the 2007-08 season.
Be warned it contains the terrible pun 'Divan inspiration'!
Here's how we reported it
Roman Bednar is hoping Albion can put their promotion push to bed in the coming weeks - so that he can have sweet dreams about playing in the Premier League.

Bednar has been giving Championship defenders sleepless nights since being unleashed by Baggies boss Tony Mowbray midway through the season.
But the Czech Republic striker's opponents would have had an even earlier nightmare had he not been hindered by a lumpy hotel mattress.
Bednar aggravated an existing back problem at the start of the season because the bed he was sleeping on in his temporary digs was too saggy.
And it took divan intervention to sort out the niggling injury - with the on-loan Hearts hitman getting his own bed transported down from Scotland to his new apartment.
"When I first started here I slept on a hotel bed and it was too soft and floppy," said Bednar. "I hurt my back, it became tight and I couldn't move properly.
"So when Id worked hard to get my fitness here I had to go back and sleep on this bed and it was terrible. For one month I could hardly move with my back.
"But then I moved into my own apartment and I had my bed delivered from Scotland so everything is cool now - my hard bed is the best."
Despite waiting until November for his Baggies bow, Bednar has had no further problems bedding in.
Being tucked up comfortably in his own bed has clearly helped him tuck away goals but Albion's insomniac has still found it easier to nod in chances than nod off at night.
Its not because the 25-year-old frontman is out burning the Roman candle at both ends - its because he spends his every waking hour worrying about West Brom's Championship charge.
"Now I'm not sleeping too well, not because of the bed but because I'm thinking about the games," said Bednar.
"I don't really get nervous but my head's always working and thinking about everything that can happen in the game.
"I need to be ready for that because they're important games for us.
"After the games I usually can't get to sleep until about four in the morning. I think it's the same for everybody who cares.
"Maybe sometimes I'm too hard on myself, thats why I can't sleep. I'm never happy."
