The Football Ramble’s Guide To… The Original Rules of Football

In December 1863, a bunch of the most Victorian-sounding men imaginable gathered together to hammer out what would become the foundation of the beautiful game: the English Football Association’s rules for football. But – by jove! – not much of what they agreed makes sense today. Marcus, Jim and Pete take you through it on today’s Guide! What would you like us to cover on the Guides in 2023?
