Best Answer

Ebenezer Cobb Morley, along with co-authors, drafted the Laws of the Game for Soccer (or "Association football") at a public house called the Freemasons Tavern in London on 26th October 1863. Morley became the Football Association's first secretary. He also founded the Barnes Football Club in 1962 which he captained against Richmond football club in the first ever soccer match. The game ended 0-0 but in a return game he scored the first ever goal. He died in 1924 and is buried at a Cemetery on Barnes Common not far from where he drafted the Laws of the game at 26 The Terrace, Barnes, London. A blue plaque commemorating his life's work was placed on the wall of this address by English Heritage in 2009.

What Country introduced soccer to the US?

A game similar to soccer was first played in Boston, Massachusetts in 1862 - this team was the first to play a sport unofficially recognized, retroactively speaking, as soccer. The game itself could not have been soccer as this predates the formulation of official soccer rules in 1872. The first attempt to form a governing body in American soccer happened in 1884, the same year as the foundation of the American Cup, which remained, for several decades, the highest-level tournament in the sport in the United States.


When did football originate?

If you mean 'American football", it evolved from English rugby. The first recorded game was between two US universities in 1869. The game got its more or less present form and rules in 1882. If you mean football as the rest of the world knows it - and called 'soccer' in the US - it has ancient roots and forms of it were already played more than 2,000 years ago in ancient Rome, Greece and China. The first set of modern rules was drawn up in Cambridge in the UK in 1848. The 'Football Association Rules" were first drawn up in 1863. As an aside to this, the RFU (Rugby Football Union) which was the originator of the game (Rugby) as we know it to day and as stated above was the model used for American Football actually was created because of the Football Associations Rules being implemented as at the time the game of Rugby and football were actually the same game. It was a decision to only allow kicking of the ball, handling was an offence and tackling and bringing the ball carrier down that forced those that loved the game to form the RFU and seek out their own rules. These were formalised in the same year as foorball (Soccer)
