One of the lines were there to let Dave Thomas know when to cross the ball.

Robbie Fowler used them to mock comments made about him by Le Saux I think it was.

They keep tje hooligans chasing a leather ball in a confined space and prevent onlookers from joining in.

They used to paint "STOP!!" just over the touchline for when Steve Kindon charged down the wing.

Otherwise, he'd have crashed through the Bee Hole End wall.

As a former groundsman I can tell you these top football pitches are all wrongly marked - the lines are straight.

My football pitches (and markings for other sports) were correctly always crooked - most football pitches are.

Here are some correct examples:
