TheDude @ LCS Postat Martie 9 Postat Martie 9 Did you know football once had chaotic “medieval” versions played across entire towns? Long before modern stadium football existed, some English towns played extremely rough versions of the sport where hundreds of people participated and the “field” was the entire town. One surviving example is the Atherstone Ball Game, played every year in England on Shrove Tuesday. In this event, a single ball is thrown into a crowd, and people push, wrestle, and run through streets trying to keep possession. The tradition dates back to 1199, when local teams competed for a bag of gold, making it one of the oldest football-style traditions still practiced today. SOURCE
