We lovers of the beautiful game understand more than most why team sports are just so much more absorbing than any showboating activities for individuals. Just thinking about grands-prix, snooker and darts makes us want to puff up a pillow and flee to the land of nod.

We would therefore like to dedicate this page to a few of those child/football orientated operations that we really rate, a heartfelt Mexican wave to those sorts of organisations that would make any first 11.
