	Indians getting weaker at the knees
		In 1960, worried by England’s string of defeats against teams from South America, Sir Stanley Rous, then FIFA president, urged the FA to send the national team on a tour of that continent.
		Sir Stanley himself went for an on-the-spot survey of why the inventors of modern football kept faltering against Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina.
		Rous didn’t dwell on fitness, perhaps because that was never a problem with England.

		With the original Laws penned in the language of Victorian England, coupled with more than half a century of changes and amendments, it was felt that the Laws of the Game, now totalling 17, needed a bit of a makeover in 1937.
		Stanley Rous, a member of the IFAB and the official who first employed the diagonal system of refereeing, was chosen as the ideal man for the gargantuan job.
		So painstaking was Sir Stanley's work and so few the changes to the game's rules in a period when the game really took off that only in 1997, almost 60 years later, was the need felt to simplify the text further (by 30%) and modernise the language.

	Spirit Of The Game
		The Fair Play campaign launched by FIFA in 1988 has in fact been largely unsuccessful in its efforts completely to eradicate from the game those acts which the late Sir Stanley Rous once described is not only offences against the Law; of the Game but, worse still, offences against the Spirit of the Game.
		Sir Stanley's successor, Joao Havelange, has even claimed that unfair play has been responsible for today's "social malaise and unrest".
		Literature is replete - with definitions, which equate the term with sportsmanship and the function of being a good loser as well as a gracious winner.

	South Africa national football team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Stanley Rous, president of The Football Association of England and a champion South Africa's FIFA membership, was elected FIFA President a few days later.
		Rous was adamant that sport, and FIFA in particular, should not embroil itself in political matters and against fierce opposition he continued to resist attempts to expel South Africa from FIFA.
		Rous declared that if the suspension were not lifted, football there would be retarded, possibly to the point of no recovery.

		It came at a dinner in a London hotel when Sir Stanley Rous presented me with an award and then came and chatted at my table.
		Stanley Rous was probably the greatest referee of his day, a former schoolmaster who went on to be the Secretary of the Football Association.
		Perhaps an example of his stature was when he came to Reading in 1947 to address referees in the town, over 200 people turned up to hear him, the largest meeting the Reading Referees have ever had in their eighty odd years.

		The Rous Cup was named after the late Sir Stanley Rous, who served as secretary of the Football Association from 1934 to 1961 and president of FIFA from 1961 to 1974.
		The 1989 edition of the Rous Cup was the last, and England's 1989 match against Scotland marked the end of a rivalry that, outside the First and Second World Wars, had been observed annually since the very first international match in 1872.

		The Eurocentric approach of the Englishman Sir Stanley Rous, then FIFA President, did little to appease within FIFA the growing resentment at a set of power relations that effectively marginalized African football.
		CAF officials, most notably Ydnekatchew Tessema, the confederation's president at the time, increasingly gave voice to their frustrations and resentment, and this led to a lobby aimed at ending Europe's administrative domination over world football.
		Africa's difficulty though was that, acting alone, CAF could not have hoped to challenge Rous for the presidency of FIFA.

		In the ensuing six decades, the text so painstakingly compiled by Sir Stanley has undergone a series of revisions, modifications, extensions and adaptations, to the point that it is no longer the single grand edifice it once was.
		But it is only now, 60 years after Sir Stanley's historic work, that the Laws have been systematically simplified, rather than merely complemented or retouched.
		The basic framework of Rous's architecture remains intact, however, with the superstructure still containing the familiar 17 Laws, each substantially reworded and stripped to a minimum for maximum com-prehension.

	The legacy of Walter Winterbottom
		Walter himself was no mean footballer, playing League soccer before the war for Manchester United as a centre half and as a guest for Chelsea in wartime when he worked, a Wing Commander in the RAF, at the Air Ministry in London.
		He owed his promotion to team manager, etc. to the all powerful FA Secretary, Stanley Rous and would surely never have stayed all those 16 years in office without such patronage.
		He should surely have succeeded Rous as FA Secretary in 1962 when Stanley became the new President of FIFA, but was thwarted by the malign machinations of Sir Harold Thompson, the late FA vice president, who hated Rous because he could never get the better of him.

		By the time Ken Aston began to get seriously involved with US Soccer he was no longer Chairman of the FIFA Referees’ Committee, a victim of politics, as it were, being too close to Sir Stanley Rous for the incoming administration.
		The one when the television commentator informed Sir Stanley that Ken had said a ball placed for a corner kick need not be wholly within the arc?
		Perhaps Ken, at this very moment, is reminding Sir Stanley as to who had the final word.”
