I exist at the heart of the parochial, divided, club-driven world of football.
I would rather watch Manchester United play Barcelona, than India play any cricket final.
That is the kind of passion football can exert.
However, even I have been moved by the uniting of the oft-divided world of football fans and players behind Fabrice Muamba – the Bolton player who suffered a heart attack on the pitch and is still in critical condition.
From Manchester to Madrid, the unity in show of support for Muamba, a small-time player, is the reason why football is called the beautiful game.
