Just imagine if the crossbar was never added in the modern game. Or the ball had to go over. Or the crossbar was added but you could still catch it on the fly.
Except we know how to mow the grass. My grandfathers sheep paddocks were in better this place. The best bit was at 3:29 when that kid got a face full of ball.
literally was one of several sports that the sport was based off. A bunch of those sports we know, soccer,, rugby for instance, we just variations of football that different rich kid schools in England played. I think rugby is from Eton. At any rate, the Aussies just looked at all of these in the fifties and made their own. The game has obviously progressed a lot.
fascinating to see an old football game that is still around. thank you
I'd like to see more videos of people playing Harrow Football. Thanks for posting.
i can't stop myself thinking that what if these types or codes of football would be common game instead of soccer

Thanks for posting. Reading "The Hill" by H. A. Vachell. Good way to understand better the description of Harrow Football in the book.
Looks a bit like Australian rules football
