It's been another action packed eventul year in football, and the SoccerBible has been on hand to report on 2010's headline events. The year started on a sour note with the African Cup of Nations shootings, John Terry scandal and Beckham injury, but football won through thanks to Chelsea claiming the Premier League, Inter Milan winning the Champions League and Spain stunning us with their football wizardry at the World Cup, before wrapping the year up with a prolonged Liverpool takeover, Rooney's will-he-won't-he and the controversial World Cup bids.

One of our missions at the SoccerBible is to catch the first glimpse of the latest football boots, and share these with our fans. There have been some great boot releases during 2010, but before the boots were unveiled our reporters got an eclusive peek, and we've also spied some boots that may be appearing on pitches during 2011.
