While football is a game traditionally played with eleven players on each team, there are many references throughout footballing history to games being influenced by the presence of a mythical 'twelfth man'. There are in fact two entirely independent situations in which the twelfth man can appear. - The atmosphere created by the home supporters at a match can be said to be the twelfth man for the home team. This is an apparently nonsensical term since there is likely to be more than one person cheering for the home team, even at MK Dons matches.

  • While football is a game traditionally played with eleven players on each team, there are many references throughout footballing history to games being influenced by the presence of a mythical 'twelfth man'. There are in fact two entirely independent situations in which the twelfth man can appear. - The atmosphere created by the home supporters at a match can be said to be the twelfth man for the home team. This is an apparently nonsensical term since there is likely to be more than one person cheering for the home team, even at MK Dons matches. - A run of refereeing decisions against one particular team can lead to the suggestion that the officials act as a twelfth man for the opposition. Again, this term is applied no matter if it refers to just the referee, or the linesmen, or any of the 56 'additional assistants' currently operating in the Europa League.
