Answer
The answer depends on which form of football you mean as there have been numerous forms of football coded in England. I will assume you are referring to Association Football(Soccer) in which case the rules or 'Laws of the Game' were wrote by Ebenezer Cobb Morley for and behalf of the Football Association founded 1863. Other English codes include Rugby School football 1823, Cambridge Rules football 1848, Sheffield rules football 1857, Rugby Union football 1871, Rugby League football 1896 and many more all of which evolved from Shrovetide football also known as mob football or folk football played for hunderds of years from medieval times.
