  1. Fun fact: before the formation of the Football Association and the modern laws of the game, kicking people in the shins ("hacking") was legal and part of the game 😮

  2. I've never understood people's issues with shinpads. Grown up with the big ones, never had an issue with running in them, or playing well. I love the ones with ankle protection too, especially if playing in defence or in goal. They've helped stop or reduce a fair few injuries.

  3. I absolutely hate shin guards however i got kicked really hard in the shin in the middle of a game once and im pretty sure i broke my shin… i had some pretty bad bruising for probably 7 months and now have a permanent dent in my shin.
