The Grubber kick is a type of kick in various codes of football with an oval ball which results in the ball moving erratically along the ground.
The point of the grubber is to make the ball roll and tumble across the ground, making it hard for the defending team to pick up the ball without causing a knock on. Its properties make it hard to handle, giving it both high and low bouncing. On random occasions, the ball can uncannily sit up in a perfect catching position.
