t's known as the beautiful game, but in Tudor times football should perhaps have been called the dangerous game.

Modern Premier League stars may dive and feign injuries, but in the 16th century more people died playing it than sword-fighting, a historian has discovered.

Seven footballers were killed after clashes in English villages between 1500 and 1575, new research has revealed.
