The footballers were enjoying a match on the village green at Rattlesden, near Stowmarket, using a ball with a bell in it so they could keep up with play.
But all hell broke out when the Morris dancers began performing at a nearby pub.
A player kicked the ball off the pitch towards the Brewers Arms, and then mistook the Morris dancers’ uniform bells for the one in the ball.
He promptly kicked one of the dancers in the shin, sending him flying over a table and crashing into a flower pot. A hanging basket then fell on his head.
More blind footballers then joined the melee, kicking out at the bells and then being surprised when they were punched by furious Morris men.
