    Good one.

    .. prompts me to ask the question, why are they called 'clean sheets' in the first place?

    Because the sheet underneath the other teams name is blank (instead of goal scorers)?? Dunno though, I'd wikipedia it but im not bothered

    The term first appeared in the 1930s. Sports reporters of the era used separate pieces of paper to record the different statistical details of a game. If one team did not allow a goal, then that team's "details of goals conceded" page would appear blank, leaving a clean sheet.
