American YouTuber hospitalized after cheese-rolling race in Gloucestershire

I went once, and even staying on the fringes was dangerous (mostly from the copious amounts of beer - both drunk and spilled - as the pubs were open all day long in an era when licensing hours were much more restrictive).

If only there had been a mediaeval League Championship. :wink:

There was, sort of. There used to be semi-regular games in the English-Scottish border region, in between the raiding and wars. What we see today is toned down from the original games. Some of those players back then would leave Vinnie Jones crying for his mother.

I’ve been to the Sedgefield game once, and that too was slightly hazardous- best to run if the ball comes in your direction. All the shops were boarded up for the duration.

Me, I think it’s funnier when the cheese wheels are happily doing their thing and a bunch of young people are Tucker and Dale vs. Evil-ing all over 'em.

I’m sure The Wurzels will get right on that!

I wonder how Nobby Stiles would have fared?

I’ve seen people being hospitalised after trying to pronounce Gloucestershire.
