I've been to 5,000 football stadiums all over the UK - these are the 20 most jaw-dropping, unique ones all groundhoppers MUST go to, from cliff faces and guns behind the goal to a gem hidden in Cadbury's model village and a Ben Nevis backdrop

Modern football, as we all know by now, is too expensive, too corporate and too soulless. It's a far cry from the game we grew up loving. And just wait until the World Cup comes around with its dynamic ticket prices and three-minute ad breaks.

Look hard enough, though, and there is still joy to be found beyond the concrete jungles, identikit stadiums and £6 pints. Know where to adventure and you can still find the quirks and character of the beautiful game.
