The Ancient Greeks and Romans are known to have played many ball games, some of which involved the use of the feet. The Roman game harpastum is believed to have been adapted from a team game known as "επισκυρος" (episkyros) or phaininda, which is mentioned by a Greek playwright, Antiphanes (388-311 BC) and later referred to by the Christian theologian Clement of Alexandria (c.150-c.215 AD). The Roman politician Cicero (106-43 BC) describes the case of a man who was killed whilst having a shave when a ball was kicked into a barber's shop. These games appear to have resembled Rugby. Football Roman ball games already knew the air-filled ball, the follis.

The original football, dating back to the 1540's was a rounder version that was actually made from an inflated pig's bladder. When rubber was invented in the mid-1800's, it replaced the bladder.
