A hands-on exhibition in the National Football Museum's Score Gallery about football and the human body: how players move, and how sports science, exercise, food and even kit affect performance. It also captures what matchday is like for fans, with the sights, sounds and smells of the terraces. There's plenty to touch and try for children and grown-ups alike, and it's in its final weeks.
