1835 – Section 72 of the Highway Act 1835 expressly forbade any person playing at football (or any other game) on any part of the defined highways to the annoyance of passengers. Anyone guilty to be fined a sum not exceeding forty shillings (two pounds sterling).[1]
1838 – A pupil at Rugby School called Jem Mackie (1821–1867) became noted for his “running in” ability and this is understood to have been the equivalent of try scoring, which is evidence of a distinct handling game.[2]
1839 – A former Rugby School pupil, Albert Pell (1820–1907), began to organise football matches at Cambridge University and is credited with introducing the game of rugby union, which was then simply called football. Pell describes in his autobiography the difficulties of setting up a team.[3]
1839 – It is claimed that the foundation of Barnes Rugby Football Club was in 1839 but without actual evidence. If the claim is true, Barnes is the world’s oldest football club (all codes).[4][5]
