The £1m football theme park that takes you back to glory days

Football fans bored by England's performances at the Euros can kick up their own fun - with a game that's been dubbed the "crazy golf of football".

Yard Ball gives fans the chance to relive childhood memories of kickabouts against garages against a backdrop of music, graffiti and cars from the 1980s and 90s.

The £1million attraction in Sheffield, South Yorks., aims to transport visitors back to a time when kids played out until the street lights came on.

Based on creator Scott Riley's childhood on a council estate in the city, it has seen a disused warehouse converted into an 'immersive street football-themed experience'.

He said he wanted to give younger generations the chance to experience the beautiful game in 'its purest form'.
