Summary

It doesn't really make sense, does it? Football in the rain, hail, and snow. Why not in the lovely summer months? Surely the Premier League would look glorious in the sun.

Join Mark and Paul in this bonus episode of How It All Played Out as they find out the why we play football in the winter, and how it came about.
