William Webb Ellis


The game of football was played at rugby school in 1750 to 1869.The game had no fixed limit of players on the field This sport caused major injuries resulting from the enormous rolling mauls.Handling of the ball was permitted but running with the ball was not.
In 1823 William Webb Ellis broke the rules by running with the ball towards the opposition’s goal. Slowly some rules changed and the game was called rugby.
