Christmas family commitments are just as stressful for footballers as the hectic fixture list. tags football soccer Christmas sportThe Christmas period is a major event in the football calendar, with families getting together to enjoy Boxing Day games. But football was never part of our family Christmas.

It infuriated my mum so much she went out and bought glass ones to stop me. To this day I swear all that bauble practice helped my goalkeeping skills. picked by roony 2 years ago |

Football isn’t always the Beautiful Game. Sometimes it can get ugly. Really, really, ugly. And nobody has done more to bring the threat of menace or the whiff of danger to our sport than the following merchants of mayhem... this is European football, where they actually use their feet.
