10 Crazy Fans Who Shook The Footballing World
Being a football fan isn’t all champagne and skittles you know. Whilst some may see the glory, the celebrations, the bunking in, and the excitement as the perfect life, there are some drawbacks. The damage the game puts on your mental health is immeasurable — I have lost count of the occasions I have pronounced…
20 Most Bizarre Incidents Ever in Football
Football can be a funny old game. Just when you think you have seen everything another moment comes along that makes you shake your head in disbelief. These may not always be the moments that define the game (although they sometimes do), but they sure as hell are the memories that seem be ingrained in…
The Great Debate: The Best Young Goalkeepers Of 2009
In a review I wrote on the Top 20 Young Footballers to Watch in 2009 (2009 Top Young Players) there was a notable absence of goalkeepers. This was not done deliberately but, in truth, most of the young players that catch the headlines between the ages of 16 and 20 are invariably flare players: strikers,…
Top 15 Craziest Red/Yellow Cards
“Footballers are stupid, give them a bit of responsibility and watch them mess up” -Brian Clough Clough was a manager who prided himself on discipline, he may not have been squeaky clean, but rarely would you see one of his Derby or Nottingham Forest players pick up a needless, or avoidable, yellow or red card….
Football Legends
The words “legend” and “legendary” are quickly becoming two of the most overused words in the English language. In fact, fans of “How I Met Your Mother” will know that it’s actually become a catch-phrase.

Football Violence & Top 10 Worst Football Riots
Football is a passionate game. That is like saying cliff-walking is a dangerous one. Plenty of sports have their passion, but to me, football’s remains the most tribalistic. How many people do you know who can transform from run-of-the-mill Mr. Average to vein-through-the-head Mr. Angry, and all because of a contentious penalty decision. The game…
Football Legends: The Managers
Being the MANAGER can often be a thankless job. You’re always under pressure to get good results, and your job security is virtually nonexistent. If you’re at a big club, then you had better produce some silverware otherwise, you’ll have to update that résumé. The old adage about how it’s a whole lot easier to…
Football Legends: The Forwards
The game, at its most basic, is about putting the ball in the back of the net. In order to be a great FORWARD, you have to be able to score. Tracking back on defense is nice. Being a great passer and playmaker is good, too. However if you can’t score, then you won’t be…
Football Legends: The Midfielders
Very few teams can win without great players in the midfield. MIDFIELDERS have to cover a lot of ground, they have to win and hold the ball, they must complete passes, and they have to be adept at both ends of the field. Sometimes, they’ll be asked to take on leadership roles, barking out commands…
Football Legends: The Defenders
For many years, the sole purpose of a DEFENDER was to stay back and protect the goal. They were seen but almost never heard. The soccer equivalent of freshmen Senators, offensive linemen, and models. There wasn’t much glory, but it was a necessary part of the game. However, the game started to change, and defenders…
