Kick Football out of Hooliganism

The' Kick hooliganism out of football' campaign overlooks the true origins of football. Whole villages of menfolk would play a version of all in, no rules football where the massed crowds tried to score by any meens. Over 100 per side would battle for supremacy in a 100% violent game. There are occasional reenactments of this version of the game where any male could take part, far closer to a full on 'swedge' than to the modern game where male femininity is celebrated with exhibitions of child like tantrums and faking hurt akin to the actions of a 3 year old. Other historians talk of an even more upsetting game where the heads of the decapitated enemy were kicked around by nasty englishmen hence the frequent public house names of 'The Saracens Head' and 'The Turks Head'. The reality is not that hooliganism has attached itself to football, quite the opposite, football has attached itself to the much older pactice of hooliganism.
