The game was invented by four drinkers Pete Cheetham, Eddie

Wetton, Staffordshire in 1974, who were bemoaning the fact that the
United Kingdom struggled to produce any world champions. (Like any
other sport they invented; Can’t win? Invent another) Logically, if a new
sport was invented that no one else knew about, the country could
boast a champion at last. Having tried "ear wrestling" and "push of
war" (with a scaffolding pole) they came up with a sport which is
existing now also. Top players include Tom "100m" Martin, Paul
"Toeminator" Beech and Alan "Nasty" Nash, who is the current world
champion. Which sport is this?

Toe Wrestling
