Dave MacKenzie | BS: Use of the word 'football' (69* d) | RE: BS: Use of the word 'football' | 05 Apr 13 |
Football ahs been played in Europe for the best part of 2 milennia, though it was only in the 19th century with the invention of the inflatable football that modern Association Football became possible. If you look at the original FA laws of 1865, the game described is much closer to modern Aussie Rules than soccer, though the FA initially lost a lot of support by its proposed rule changes which eventually eliminated handling from their form of the game. |
