History of The Game

Origins
The creation of the header game has been compared to by some to be as genius as Isaac Newton and the apple. That spark moment of brilliance came on a seemingly ordinary day from Will Vinter. On a walk back from his daily pilgrimage to the Tuck Shop (also widely re-nowned for it being the Butts-Up Arena) he met with Tom Skertchly, James "Judge" Gallagher and some other soon to be members of the Header Game. They had with them a slightly flat football, however as they had not the numbers to play a game of football they decided on keepy ups in a circle. It was during these fateful keepy ups that when Vinter saw someone header the ball, he formulated the game, and shared his idea with the rest of the group. Though not convincingly accepted at first by the masses, Vinter saw in the sport what only few others saw. However he decided he could not develop the game alone, and so enlisted the help of Tom Skertchly and James "Judge" Gallagher, and they worked together, with some outside help from other players of the sport, to try and take the sport to the next level.

Early Years
The games early stages were at times rough, as the rules were unclear, still largely under development by Vinter and co, it was often hard to find the funding or the right number of people to play. However, slowly the sport was beginning to catch the eye and attract newcomers and rookies to the sport. This in turn started to gather crowds of fans. With most of the rules finalised and a move to a new stadium (Grass-area-with-no-slope Stadium), the sport was ready to take off into the mainstream.

Rise into the Mainstream
The sports rise into today's mainstream sports is not only a credit to Will Vinter, Tom Skertchly, and James "Judge" Gallagher's development of the game but it is more so credited by the masses to its star players: Julian "Casual One" Moses and Luke "Grunt" Shakerchi. It is these two players that brought about the wild fans and the money, though they themselves get paid ludicrous amounts per game. Also, rules such as the strike and bell rules are real crowd pleasers. Today, the game is still developing and blossoming, and its popularity is higher than ever before.
