- Association football - or 'soccer' - is the world's most popular sport. Yet, in Britain, there remains around 15 traditional versions of football, many of which have developed from festival games. 'Uppies and Downies' explores the history of Britain's traditional games, such as the annual Shrove Tuesday game in Alnwick.
