Who was Ebenezer Cobb Morley? How a Victorian lawyer ended up writing the rules of football and helped found the FA Before Hull-born Morley set down the rules of football in 1863, the game was much more chaotic than the version we know today https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/ebenezer-cobb-morley-facts-football-13089083
The handball rule is a load of Cobblers if it's unintentional. #askaref Many Happy returns and a Merry Christmas you old Scrooge.
E.C.Morley. Education son of Hull who had to sort out the southern riff raff as they couldn't organise themselves.
I became a Grandad for the first time a few weeks ago. As my grandson was due in December his baby bump was named Ebenezer. I did tell the family that a famous Ebenezer was from Hull. In fact, we got so used to that name that when his name was registered Ebenezer was included as one of them. Hopefully we can keep Ebenezer's legacy alive for the next generation of Tigers fans!
