Noni Madueke has been known for wearing torn socks during games.

Against Liverpool, Noni Madueke was spotted with perforated socks yet again.

Conor Gallagher was also famed for wearing socks with perforated holes at the back during his time at Chelsea.

But why do players do this?

The reason behind this phenomenon is not proven but many believe that it provides comfort and helps for injury prevention.

According to the myth, by creating holes in their socks, players aim to alleviate pressure on their calf muscles, reducing the risk of cramping caused by restrictive, unstretched fabric.

Nevertheless, despite the benefits associated with perforated socks, they are not commercially available, as players tend to bore the holes themselves.
