Answer

There are many forms of football some of which date back hundreds of years played by numerous rules. Some of these games contributed to modern codes of football played all over the world. Others simply agree with the historical definition of 'foot ball' meaning 'a ball game played on foot' even though they developed independently. The Worlds oldest known ball game that matches the definition of football is an Ancient Greek ball game called "Episkyros" or "Phaininda" which was wrote about by the Greek playwright Antiphanes (388-311 BC). A Greek "Ball Player Relief" on display in the National Museum of Archeology in Athens has been dated to the 4th century BC. Episkyros is recognised by UEFA as being the ancestor of football and for this reason an image of this player balancing a ball on his knee appears on the UEFA European cup and has done since it was first introduced in1960. This game was later adapted by the Romans who created a ball game called "Harpastum" which they introduced to the Roman Province of Britannia (Britain). There is a record of a game being played between the Romans and the Britons in what is now Derbyshire in AD 217. This game may have developed into the medieval ball game played at Shrovetide which in England was called "fote-ball" AD c.1400. Over the next 500 years this Shrovetide game evolved into every form of modern football throughout the English speaking world. However, as the question is specifically about Soccer I can say with absolute certainty that the code of football known as 'Association football' or 'Soccer' was wrote for and behalf of the Football Association founded 1863 by a man called Ebenezer Cobb Morley. The 'Laws of the game' as they became known were based on the earlier Cambridge Rules wrote in 1848. Morley became the Football Associations first secretary. He also founded the Barnes Football Club in 1862 which he captained against Richmond football club in the first ever soccer match. The game ended 0-0 but in a return game he scored the first ever goal. 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. The main aim of the Football Association was to standardise the many forms of football played in England. The word Soccer started as a phonetically abbreviated vernacular word for Association football coined by English public school students who took the 'soc' from 'Association' and put an 'er' on the end. Typically 'an Oxford University student who played Association football and Rugby football' would be described as "an Oxforder who plays Soccer and Rugger". This is why prior to 1863 the word Soccer did not exist. It is probably worth noting the same students called Rugby football 'Rugger' but this word has largely fallen out of use.
