    Came across this clip, obviously Health & Safety existed back in the 60’s, but good old sporting fun was much more important! The write up says :-

    Worcester, Worcestershire.

    Various shots show men preparing motorbikes and putting on helmets for a game of Motor Ball. The Worcester Auto Club, who invented the game of playing football while on a motorcycle, are playing against the Malvern Motor Club. A huge football is pumped up.

    Several shots of the game. Most of the players dribble the ball quite close to their front wheel as they ride along. There are a few nice M/Ss of the spectators. As one team tries to score a goal, the goalkeeper uses a push bike to stop the ball getting into the net. Eventually, the Worcester team scores a goal
