William Webb Ellis



The game of football was played by a school called Rugby School. Hundreds of players were able to take part in this game because there was no fixed limit to the number of players. Major injures were caused by this game. They were permitted to handle the ball, but they were not able to move with it.
In 1823 William Web Ellis ran with the ball to the opposition’s goal. This innovation of running with the ball meant the game of Rugby was introduced sometime between 1859-1865.
