Football was invented in Constantinople in 400AD by a considerate choir master.
In these times young choir boys were castrated so that they would retain their high vocal range. This of course was very disturbing for a boy to see his testicles chopped off so one choir master would tell the boys to shut their eyes and he would swiftly kick the dropping bollock out of their sight. Often he would fail to manage to kick it out of the doorway and so other choir boys were enrolled to kick it from one to another until it was out of the room....and so the sport of foot bollock was invented - the name later being changed by Oliver Cromwell.
The ancient roots of this game are commemorated in the modern sport, notably by the word "tackle". When touched lightly by an opposition player it is still traditional for a player to re-enact the game's origin by rolling around on the floor in pretend pain and screaming in a high pitched girlie voice.
