The AFTV founder breaking new ground, the ex-Love Island contestant who counts England stars among his friends and the presenter mistaken for his Man City namesake... the social media influencers changing the face of football on our screens

The way we watch football is changing, and so too are the faces we watch football with.

Since supporters have been able to watch at home, matches have been accompanied by the opinions of former professionals, whether they had a link to your club or not.

The advent of the internet has brought with it a new form of punditry, giving rise to fans and personalities who have never taken to the pitch, but whose opinions are listened to just as much as their peers.

Some platforms have recognised this, with Sky Sports' Saturday Social programme nodding to the growing influence this new wave of football opinion and content can lay claim to.
