Summary

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker explore the curious coverage of footballers' gestures of humanity by selecting the most traditional "classy touches" on and off the pitch, from goalkeepers refusing to celebrate their freak goals against their opposite numbers to the complex art of muted celebrations.

Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel compare some charmingly obscure official club merchandise and one listener gets in touch to vent his fury about the way footballers clap.
