Humbled for a Season

Football is the world’s favourite sport yet, according to many, the game has lost its soul. Steve Couch examines the arguments against football and looks for reasons to be optimistic, drawing on the events of the 2011-2012 English season, the history of the game, and his own experiences as a Fulham supporter. His conclusions suggest that the love many of us have for football goes far deeper than current controversies, reaching down to the very heart of what it means to be human.
