Over 6 years, across 97,000 miles, 6 continents and 35 countries, I became the first person to go Around the World in 80 games. Armed with a ball and four jumpers for goalposts, I had kick-about's from the cloud forests of Costa Rica to the chaos of Kampala; the splendour of Vienna to the distant shores of Osaka. I would place my jumpers down in random places and invite passers-by to join in the unadulterated magic of a game of footy. What began as a reaction to the gluttony of modern football at the top level, turned into a journey beyond my wildest dreams. The incredible people I met along the way tell this story. All brought together by the earth shaped ball.

StumpelWhy do some games seem to be universal while others have a particular connection to the culture of the people playing them?
