How do you grow a football pitch? Is it as simple as sewing a few seeds, and letting nature take its course?

Well, no. The science behind turf is so complex that Leicester City now have a “Sports Turf Academy” to teach the next generation of budding turf-professionals.

In this video, David Goldblatt explains how clubs in the past tried in vain to keep a pitch healthy, and what lengths clubs go to now to ensure their pitches are “like playing on a carpet”. Illustrated by Marco Bevilacqua.
