Google is your friend, just type in any question, it will answer…..

Why do football players cut holes in their socks?

Players in the modern era will do anything to get a competitive advantage but cutting holes in their socks is all about what they can prevent rather than what they gain.

It is done ahead of games by players to relieve pressure on their calf muscles. Players will usually wear a new pair of socks for every match and the material can be restrictive, particularly for those with sizeable calves, so some cut holes in the back to allow for better circulation and reduce the risk of getting cramp.

A few of their mutants are known to slice more, than their fair share of legs
