I cant tell you WHO invented the offside rule, but it was introduced in some of the early football games. By early i don't mean 1977 i mean when the game was first played! I think they were describing it as: "You cant hang around the goal or you will be penalised!" Probably the very early 19th century. Hope this helps! ^_^

Sports such as ice hockey, field hockey, American and Canadian football, soccer and rugby have an offside rule.
There is currently no offside rule in field hockey. There were prior offside rules, rules that restricted the positioning of players from the attacking team in a way similar to the offside rule in soccer. The offside rules were changed as the rules of field hockey changed. The evolution of the field hockey offside rule culminated with its abolition in the mid 1990s.

It has evolved a lot, i remember a long time ago there was no offside rule.
Jackie Milburn, ex Newcastle player, had the idea of staying in the opposition box so the League dicided to create the offside law.
The offside rule was brought in around the early nineteenth century and was similar to rubgy. Due to variations in how offside was implemented under various sets of rules a meeting in 1948 was held and a uniform set of rules drawn up (Cambridge Rules). Offside has been a part of the game since it was invented. The implementation has changed over the years.
In soccer, a player is offside if he is in an offside position and becomes involved in play. In hockey, a player is offside if he is in the attack zone (fully across the blue line) when the puck enters the same zone. Please see the related questions for detailed information about each sport.
If you break the offside rule, the other team gets a free pass where you went offside, you are not out of play.
