In November 1823 he is believed to have cheated technically during a game of the then crude mob football played at the school, when, “with a fine disregard for the rules of football as played in his time, [he] first took the ball in his arms and ran with it”.
A major event in the 1890s was the breakaway movement of northern clubs, which resulted in the creation of rugby league football.
