Nick Bannehr's limited-edition photo book 'Real Football' vividly portrays a chaotic medieval football match that takes place every Good Friday in Chiddingstone, England. Featuring 200 players per team and no formal rules, the four-hour game spans fields, roads, and rivers, becoming a display of endurance, tradition, and community pride. Bannehr actively participated in the event, running alongside players and capturing the energy of the match up close. The book is launched at 6pm today at Between Lines in Newtown, Sydney.
Real Football documents the chaotic medieval football match played each Good Friday in Chiddingstone, showcasing a 200-player spectacle without formal rules.
I didn't want to be a bystander-I ran with the players, chased the ball through muddy paddocks and over stone fences.
