How many football leagues can count a former England cricket idol, an England football captain, an EFL referee, and a serving councillor among its past and present players?
Dating back almost 120 years, the Bristol Downs League, in many ways, is just like every other amateur Saturday afternoon league played up and down the country.
But it is unique in that all four divisions play on the same set of pitches at 14:00 every Saturday afternoon. Every game is a home game.
The sprawling 442-acre open parkland of the Clifton Downs on top of the city’s Avon Gorge hosts 41 teams, more than 1,500 players, and over 400 matches a season.
BBC Radio Bristol spent the 2023-24 campaign there to find out about the people, players, officials and teams that make the league so special and part of the sporting fabric of the city.
