 Rugby union - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
The legendary story about the origin of Rugby football, whereby a young man named William Webb Ellis "took the ball in his arms (ie caught the ball) and ran" while playing football at Rugby School is almost certainly a complete fiction.
Playing football has a long tradition in England and football games had probably taken place at Rugby School for two hundred years before three boys published the first set of written rules in 1845.
Until the formation of the Football Association (FA) in October 1863 each football team would agree on a set of rules with opponents before a match.

 Graphic Ghana - News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) may have unwittingly stirred up debate in all its member federations over which players earn the right to be named among the best on the continent, following its publication of a list of 200 footballers (past and active) to contend for the singular honour of being the best overall.
These 50 players, one of whom would have the chance of winning the ultimate title, are those who would have been chosen solely through voting by Internet users who are expected to e-mail their choices to CAF and explain the reasons.
For instance, we cannot fathom how any list of 20 Ghanaian players to vie for the continent’s best player in the last 50 years neither included the legendary C.K. Gyamfi nor Addo Oadamettey, who, arguably, was outstanding in Ghana’s two African Nations Cup triumphs in 1963 and 1965 when he captained the team.

But this time around, Ogungbure was wise enough not to respond, as he did the last time he was abused, as his Congolese teammate Rolf-Christel Guie-Mien was also tasted racially abused in the league game.
In what seemed like an unending hatred and a sign of warning for Ogungbure to stay clear of playing football in Germany, the ugly incident of making animal noise whenever he touches the ball was the order of proceedings through out the duration of the match, which was played between FC Sachesen and Hallesche.
