For many of you who didn’t know, football, i.e. soccer, has been around for the best part of 200 years. This was when the modern football rules and codes, that we would associate with today's game, were established. Oh and FYI my American friends, do not let those pesky English wisecrackers get on your back about the word soccer! Soccer is a slang word for Association Football, that originates in the U.K., and is similar to the word fiver, which used to mean a five-pound note.
