No matter which walk of life we happen to come from, or just how good our own personal ability to play the Beautiful Game really is in the cold light of day – we’ve all had a pair of football boots that we’ve cherished throughout the years.
Although the modern game is largely dominated by big-money sponsorship deals and increasing financial expenditure off the field itself, it all comes down to a reliable pair of football boots at the end of the day, with the likes of Adidas, Nike and Puma seemingly leading the way.
So from the multi-coloured plastic slip-ons to the good old fashion black & white leathers from back in the day, the customizable works of modern art to the classic no-nonsense designs of yesteryear, and the cheap n’ cheerful budget options to the vastly over-priced footwear promoted on equally flashy adverts far and wide – here are fifty of the best football boots to ever grace the sport we know and love…
