Every so often a website springs up of such brilliance it’s immediately bookmarked. This was certainly the case when the Cutter stumbled upon 500 Reasons To Love Football http://500reasonstolovefootball.blogspot.com/view/classic a blog that has the simple but fantastic concept of looking beyond the high-profile glories and charting instead the less obvious details that make up football’s rich pageant. From the daft to the wonderful each day a new reason is proffered and though there is still some way to go (they are currently on 170) we thought we’d share some of our favourite moments so far.
