Report from Bell's Life of London, December 12 1863, of the 6th meeting of the Football Association to settle on the rules of Association Football.
The outlawing of hacking and tripping seemed to cause most fuss.
1894 Woolwich Arsenal. Judging by the shin pads, hacking was still a possibility.
The International Football Association meeting of June 2 1891 introduced the penalty kick.

A bit more on the rules of Association Football when published in 1863.
The goal consisted of two posts. There was no tape or crossbar between the posts, so there was no height limit for scoring. Tape across the posts was introduced in 1866.
There were no pitch markings, other than corner flags to indicate the boundary of the field of play.
Like rugby union today, a player could catch a high ball and call for a fair catch. Then take a free kick from that position.
If the ball went out of bounds, the first player to the ball took the throw-in.
Throw-ins were taken one-handed, and the ball was returned at a right angle to the field of play, as in rugby union.
There were no referees, goalkeepers, time limit or half time. The team captains enforced the game's rules. The goal-keeper was introduced in 1871.
The offside rule was derived from a player being off his side. Initially, passes had to be sideways or backwards, the only exception being for kicks taken from behind the goal line.In 1866 forward passes were allowed provided three opposition players were between the ball and goal.
