Social media is awful. That’s not an opinion, that’s a fact. It has allowed UKIP votes a greater voice, scum from my school year to upload daily photos of their 19th baby to my newsfeed and it has made us all believe we are right, about everything ever.
Now and then, obviously, it has its merits. Sometimes, there’s nothing like it for some light relief, insight or enjoyment, so when those moments happen, we’ve got to make the most of them. That is why, when #7favfootballers was trending, we decided to take a look at what was popping up. We wanted to take that trip down memory lane, to reminisce about players we’d forgotten even existed and find out why people love the players they do.
The game’s true heroes?

Always have to laugh at the fans who can’t do their lists without taking their club bias out of it.
