I've a few points to make though.

Firstly, amateur football seems to have done alright before now without the need for expensive insurance policies and lawyers, thank you very much.

Secondly, there is already a system in place whereby even if a team doesn't have insurance, players can seek individual compensation claims - I mean, it's not like I phone up Endsleigh on a Saturday afternoon as I'm on my way out to the New Den to check that my 'Rough and Tumble in Bermondsey' policy is still in date, should I stumble into the wrong pub.

Thirdly, you have to factor in the very real possibility that the Eduardo tackle and consequence would never happen in Sunday league football, because the sheer flabbiness of players would mean they'd have given up chasing a ball like that a good half-minute beforehand.

And finally, given that most of these sides are assembled on crumbs of finance as well as the dregs of humanity, do Higgs & Sons have any idea how many half-time oranges would need to be sacrificed just to ensure The Dog and Duck could keep up payments? "Yeah lads, sorry, we've gone into administration again so are going to start the season on minus 50 points, but if someone could get some stud marks down their legs we can clear all of our debts and naff off to Bermuda for a fortnight."
