		Rugby Union, History of, development of a football game, which traditionally, was “invented” by a schoolboy named William Webb Ellis at Rugby School, Warwickshire, England.
		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”.
		Rugby was included in the 1900 and 1908 Olympic Games, and again in 1920 and 1924.
