How Football Began The origins of football as we know it today, can be traced back to some of the very first ball sports ever known to man (women top judging by the success Arsenal and Charlton’s women’s team). First played by cave men, football was a means of developing the stamina, strength and speed needed by young men for hunting. The ancient Greeks were known to play a game called “Harpastron” which was an early form of Handball (Could this have inspired Diego Maradona’s first goal against England in the quarter final of the 1986 World Cup?). By 220AD the Romans had introduced kicking into the already established game of Harpastron. The Romans renamed the game “Harpastum”. The English however developed the game which most closely resembles modern football. Thought to have been brought to Britain by soldiers of the Roman Invasion, the English introduced the concept of goals and teams to the game known as Harpastum. In Tudor times matches were usually played on public holidays, with teams coming from a different town. The main street of the town was used as the football ground, anyone could join in, even those on horseback, and there were no rules. The aim of the game was simply to get a pig’s bladder (the football!!!) from one end of the town to the other by breaking through the opposition. It is not surprising that one contemporary writer described the game as “nothing but beast-like fury and violence” as it was not uncommon for people to be trampled to death during such matches. .
