The Royal Shrovetide Football Match is a medieval game played annually across the town of Ashbourne in Derbyshire. The match starts when the ball is thrown – or ‘turned up’ - from a special plinth in the town centre. In 2001, during the foot and mouth outbreak, Paul Cook controversially called for the game to be cancelled. 22 years later and Paul, who’s originally from South Wales, has now been selected to turn the ball up. He’s been speaking to �鶹�� Radio Derby’s Andy Twigge.
