With regard to stats in football - Sky Sports are obsessed with them. Most meters run, most touches of ball, most assists, most tackles - the list goes on. Then again it's probably just a time filler on Sky. I'm no football fan so don't find the stats of any interest and I very much doubt fans are either? Team managers and coaches yes, in fact many clubs employee someone to compile the stats. With regard to football the one stat that would interest me is just how many times these "professionals" fall over every match.
