		Humans have been kicking something round—an enemy’s head, an inflated pig’s bladder—since time immemorial, but it was in the English fee-paying "public" schools of the 19th century, with their commitment to muscular Christianity and mens sana in corpore sano, that rules were first established to regulate the mayhem of ancient ball games.

		In 1885, the Football Association legalized payments to players, and three years later, the world’s first professional football league was founded, all of its first 12 teams drawn from towns in the industrial northwest and midlands of England.
