Prior to 1889 "gentlement" played Rugby wearing what can only be described as working boots with studs in. The studs were unlike those of today and and inflicted some serious injuries when you were "rucked obver" and in the words of the famous Bill Mclaren "the player lying on the ball was given s server shoeing". In the 1889 the laws included the statement that "No one wearing projecting nails, iron plates, or gutta percha on any part of his boots shall be allowed to play in a match." In 1910, "If studs are worn, they shall be cylindrical, not less than 3/4 inch in diameter and of any length not exceeding one half the diameter and shall be fastened by four nails." In 1926, "Any studs worn, shall be leather, circular and fastened by at least three nails." Rubber was also added in 1948, aluminum in 1953 and any approved plastic in 1954. In 1981 the single toe stud was prohibited. In 1983 BS 6366: 1983 was introduced. However, the original boot made for a rugby player was created in 1950 by Charles Hewett
