It is said that Football comes from a Norse legend where a legion of men came upon a citadel. They politely knocked on its walls to be let in and were driven away by the barbarians inside. This made the legion angry, so they besieged the citadel and conquered it. They then decapitated its leader and began playing a macabre game of passing the fallen leaders head around, until they kicked it between two spears. The head over time came to be replaced with a ball and the game of football was born.
