This wonderful animation is the work of Gabe Cuthbert (Founder of Art of Football) and close friend Matt Williams (of Subject Studio) and it's been almost a year and a half in the making.

Why? Because it's comprised of 1,600 different hand drawings and presumably also many months of research to build one long, continuous stretch of play from some of the production team's favourite moments in the sport's history.
