Best Answer

It was in the middle of the north Atlantic during a break from raiding Dieppe-bound merchant shipping during the Napoleonic wars. The captain of His Majesty's Ship The Redoubt, Soccer observed some of his men making idle fun with a bladder stuffed into a gauze-shirt made waterproof with whale blubber, and recorded the response to some of his enquiries in his Royal Navy log book. The game thus described couldn't really be said to be 'soccer,' but these early jottings were referred to at the inaugural meeting of the Football Association, and formed the basis of the set of formal rules that emerged from that gathering - to the extent that this new pastime continued to be called by the name it had held since the captain's demise on the quarter-deck of The Redoubt during the battle of Aboukir - Soccer.
