Ebenezer Cobb Morley drafted the 'Laws of the game' for 'Soccer' or 'Association football' as it was called. Ebenezer, along with other co-authors, agreed to the rules at a public house called the Freemasons Tavern in London on 26th October 1863. Morley became the Football Associations first secretary. 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

In general, however, games involving kicking a ball have been played around the world throughout history; the earliest dating to Ancient China in 300 BC. People also used to play games like it in the middle ages. Modern rules of soccer or (football) began to be established around the 1850's in England and the first international soccer game was played in 1872 between Scotland and England in Glasgow.
