Origins
Different forms of football have existed for centuries.
(For more on the development of football sports, see football.
) In Britain, football ⚾️ games may have been played as early as the time of Roman occupation in the 1st century bce.
During the 14th ⚾️ and 15th centuries ce, Shrove Tuesday football matches became annual traditions in local communities, and many of these games continued ⚾️ well into the 19th century.
These localized versions of folk football (a violent sport distinctive for its large teams and lack ⚾️ of rules) gradually found favour within the English public (independent) schools, where they were modified and adapted into one of ⚾️ two forms: a dribbling game, played primarily with the feet, that was promoted at Eton and Harrow, and a handling ⚾️ game favoured by Rugby, Marlborough, and Cheltenham.
Game playing, particularly football, was encouraged at Rugby School by influential headmaster Thomas Arnold ⚾️ (1828–42), and many boys educated at this time were instrumental in the expansion of the game.
Rugby football soon became one ⚾️ of the most significant sports in the promotion of English and, later, British imperial manliness.
The game's virtues were promoted by ⚾️ books such as Thomas Hughes's Tom Brown's School Days (1857).
The cult of manliness that resulted centred on the public schools ⚾️ and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, where boys were sent to learn how to become young gentlemen.
Part of the ⚾️ schoolboy's training was a commitment to arduous physical activity, and, by the late 19th century, rugby and cricket had become ⚾️ the leading sports that developed the "civilized" manly behaviour of the elite.
It was believed that rugby football instilled in the ⚾️ "muscular Christian" gentleman the values of unselfishness, fearlessness, teamwork, and self-control.
Graduates of these public schools and of Oxford and Cambridge ⚾️ formed the first football clubs, which led to the institutionalization of rugby.

Once they had left school, many ⚾️ young men wanted to continue playing the game of their youth, and the early annual matches between alumni and current ⚾️ senior students were not enough to satisfy these players.
Football clubs were formed in the mid-19th century, with one of the ⚾️ very first rugby clubs appearing at Blackheath in 1858.
Rugby enthusiasm also spread rapidly to Ireland and Scotland, with a club ⚾️ founded at the University of Dublin in 1854 and the formation by the Old Boys of Edinburgh of the Edinburgh ⚾️ Academicals Rugby Football Club in 1858.
In 1863 the tradition of club matches began in England with Blackheath playing Richmond.
Representatives of ⚾️ several leading football clubs met in 1863 to try to devise a common set of rules for football.
Disputes arose over ⚾️ handling the ball and "hacking," the term given to the tactics of tripping an opponent and kicking his shins.
Both handling ⚾️ and hacking were allowed under rugby's rules but disallowed in other forms of football.Led by F.W.
Campbell of Blackheath, the rugby ⚾️ men refused to budge over hacking, calling those against the practice "unmanly.
" Though Campbell's group was in the minority, it ⚾️ refused to agree to the rules established for the new Football Association (FA) even though many elements of rugby rules ⚾️ were included in early compromises.
Ultimately, rugby was left outside the FA.
Despite the initial reluctance to abandon hacking, rugby clubs began ⚾️ to abolish the practice during the late 1860s.
Blackheath banned it in 1865, and Richmond supported a similar prohibition in 1866.

Rugby received bad publicity after a Richmond player was killed ⚾️ in a practice match in 1871, prompting leading clubs to respond to Richmond and Blackheath's call for an organizational meeting.
Thus, ⚾️ in 1871 members of leading rugby clubs met to form the Rugby Football Union (RFU), which became the governing body ⚾️ for the sport.
By this time, hacking had largely disappeared from club rugby, though it remained a part of the game's ⚾️ "character building" qualities at Rugby School.
As a result of its continued adherence to the practice, Rugby School did not join ⚾️ the RFU until 1890.
