A Important Soccer Ball : A Shortened History You Have to Acknowledge
Soccer is maybe the most popular sport in the world. The history of soccer goes along, evidently, with the soccer ball history. When talking about soccer ball history you should distinguish between some stages or ages in which changes in the soccer ball occurred. Thus there are the early ball history, the balls in the 1800s, balls in the 1900s, and the modern times.
Early soccer ball history starts before the birth of Christ. Kicking a round object for fun was surely a pastime to many cultures. Indians in South America are known to have used a light elasticized ball, which is amazing since rubber started being produced only a few thousand years later. The early soccer balls consisted of different items from animal and human skulls to pig or cow bladders and wrapped up cloth. The Chinese used to play a game that involved dribbling a ball through gaps in a net spread between two poles, and this happened as early as 255BC. Ancient Greeks and Romans also had a game which involved kicking and carrying a ball, whereas in certain ancient Egyptian rites are said to have had similarities with soccer.
Pre-medieval and medieval stories and legends that can be considered as part of the soccer ball history, also talk about bladders and skulls used for game playing. An instance of the use of an animal bladder ball is presented in the legend about the ‘game’ between two villages. An entire village ran and kicked a ball with the purpose of getting it into the other village's square. The other villagers will make similar attempts. In medieval times they used the bladders from animals killed for winter sustenance. Once inflated they would try to keep the ‘ball’ in the air by using their hands or feet. In time people improvements to the shape and strength of the ball were brought by covering it with leather.
The soccer ball history of the 1800s was marked by the 1836 patenting of vulcanized rubber by Charles Goodyear. In 1855 the same Charles Goodyear managed to create the first vulcanized rubber soccer balls. In 1862 H.J. Lindon developed one of the first inflatable bladders for soccer balls. Although he is the father of the rugby ball too, he did not patent the idea at the time because of the preference for the round ball. By the 1900s the soccer ball history had already enjoyed the use of stronger rubber balls that could withstand heavier and heavier pressure.

The Two-Fisted, One-Eyed Misadventures Of Sportswriting's Last Badass [Tribute] (Deadspin)
George Kimball hung upside down some 70 feet in the cold Manhattan air, still
in need of a cigarette. Well, the doctors had said smoking would kill him,
hadn't they? The previous autumn, they had found an inoperable cancerous tumor
the size of a golf ball in his throat and given him six months to live. Five
months had passed. He'd finished his latest round of chemotherapy, and now
George, 62 years old and recently retired from the _Boston Herald_, was at the
Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom in 2006, to cover a night of boxing for a
website called The Sweet Science. More »
