Re: The Milan derby
well the earliest forms of football were rugby. The first official NFL game was actually a game of rugby for example.
But footy isn't a contact sport according to the laws I believe.
I'd argue that as well. ????
Other way round, football was way before Rugby.
Henry VIII banned football because blokes were skiving off from archery practice which was compulsory on a Sunday morning
Wasn't Rugby invented when in a game of football, someone just cheated and picked up the ball and ran with it?
Think that's the popular myth anyway
