More About Football - Pigs' Bladders and Mob Rules

Football's roots can be traced back as far as the Medieval period in England, when 'mob football' was contested by rival towns and villages. During long and chaotic matches, teams of unlimited numbers of players attempted to kick an inflated pig's bladder to markers often located miles apart. As the game evolved over the following centuries, teams struggled to agree on a set of universally accepted rules until the formation of the first Football Association in England in 1863. Many of the Laws of the Game introduced by this governing body still stand today.

In 1992, the Premier League formed to replace the Football League First Division in England. It's gone on to become the world's most-watched football league and made stars of the likes of David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney. Millions of fans attend matches at stadiums across the country every season, as teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City and more engage in an annual tussle to be crowned champions.
