Summary

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and Nick Miller talk through the football cliches we are all guilty of using for every position on the pitch.

What do Italians call the “terzino sinistro”? Who was the most out-of-position footballer of all time? What actually is “end product?” And can “bagsman” ever be an acceptable word for a striker?
