Why there are 45 mins to each half in football

I'm sure all of guys here love football. I know each and everyone of us has at least one favourite EPL team. But do you really ever think about why they played 45 minutes for each half ?


Well, when it all started, they decided that each minute should represent one ball in the game. So, we have 11 players from each team and that makes it 22 players in the field. Each player (should) has two balls, so by using the Lawrenz theorem, 22 x 2 = 44 , plus one more ball being kicked around and that makes it 45 balls, thus 45 minutes in each half. Eureka !
