OTD E0020 - 20 Nov 1924: Ebenezer Cobb Morley, the OG 17 Laws Guy

Nov 20, 1924: Ebenezer Cobb Morley, the Victorian solicitor who helped found the FA and drafted its original Laws, passes aged 93. We trace his journey from Hull to Barnes, his letter that created the FA, the six 1863 meetings at Freemasons’ Tavern, the first 13 Laws, his role in stabilizing the early FA and presenting the first FA Cup – and how his legal mind gave football a rulebook sturdy enough to last 160 years.Tips/corrections: [email protected]
