Shrove Tuesday football in Surrey

MATTHEW ALEXANDER

In Surrey, Shrove Tuesday football was widespread in the north of the county, centred on Kingston upon Thames where the game attracted visitors from the London suburbs. Throughout Surrey the game usually began with a procession on the morning of Shrove Tuesday collecting money, ostensibly to defray any damage done to buildings during the game but in practice for refreshments for the players. Shops in the main streets were then shuttered and barricaded and a ball thrown in or kicked off at a central point. Usually half the town played the other half, the player’s allegiance being determined by which side of the central point he lived. The ball had to be carried either to a set goal on either side or simply retained in the team’s own half of the town at the hour fixed to finish the game. Afterwards the players would disperse to celebrate in the local pubs.
