The game, first created in Rugby School, Rugby in Englandwas taken by its pupils to universities following their leaving the school. The game developed very quickly in these universities as they played each other. The game progressed through England with many young men from privileged backgrounds taking on the game. It spread by like minded young men forming clubs. One of these Black Heath is one of the oldest clubs in the world. The armed forces also began to take an interest especially toward the beginning of the first world war. The game was nothing we know it today of course. In the earliest days sides could have up to as many as a hundred players on each side all fighting for ball possession. It was not until the formation of the Football Association at Freemason's Tavern on Lincoln's Inn Fields in London on October 26th 1863 that created a pivotal moment in the history of football and rugby. The creation of the governing body was part of a series of meetings that would codify the rules of football. When it came to the code itself, the Cambridge Rules.
