I have never liked football but over the years my curiosity has prompted me to speak to many fanatical supporters of this game, of which someone by the name of Bill Shankly once said, was "more important than life or death", to try and fathom out why they could so obsessively support the sport.

I have also spoken to numerous unemployed and low paid workers whose knowledge of the history of their teams is incredible and who are able to recall entire team names and fixture histories going back decades.

Had they applied the effort required into learning those facts, into something that could have been useful in the real world, they would have been very highly paid people.
