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! ^_^
