Sam Chedgzoy
was the man directly responsible for a major change in the game's laws. An
intelligent man who was never scared to challenge authority, he discovered
a glaring loophole in the laws and proceeded to exploit it during a match
at White Hart Lane in 1924. A new rule had been introduced so that a goal
could be scored direct from a corner. Chedgzoy took a corner by dribbling
along the by-line as members of both sides looked on in astonishment. They
saw Chegzoy hammer the ball into the net and score a goal which led to a
rule change. Twelve months later football's hierarchy introduced a rule
whereby the taker of a corner could only play the ball once before a
second player had touched it.
His son, Sydney, played for Everton FC
and Burnley FC. |

many matches rarely stuck to exactly ninety minutes long, allowing time
for injuries, errors and substitutions. The minutes here
given can only ever be a guideline and cannot therefore be accurate, only
