	ABC Radio National - The Sports Factor Transcript - 6 November1998
		And if you read 'Tom Brown's Schooldays', that book begins with an account of the old village games, but the villages have been destroyed the Industrial Revolution, and Arnold saw that, and he saw that there had to be some response to it, and that there had to be new leaders for the new age.
		Wills was probably the only Australian among them, and he got access because he'd been to Rugby, and nominally to Cambridge, though in fact he never did go to Cambridge.
		Wills then being the turbulent, creative type - and basically Wills was a leader, he was nothing else, he couldn't take second place or third place - so he shoots through this company like a comet and ends up in the dark lonely spaces on the outside of Victorian society.

		Tom Wills was a fine footballer and all round athlete and in the opinion of many has a sounder claim to the title of "Father of the Game" than his brother-in-law, H.C.A. Harrison who received that accolade from the inaugural meeting of the "Australian Football Council" in 1906.
