The earliest evidence of soccer clubs in Europe can be traced back to the early 1830s when gentlemen's clubs such as the Wanderers (London) and Royal Engineers (Liverpool) began playing what we know today as proper soccer matches. These were simple affairs where each team had a ball and whoever got it into their opponent's end won. There were no rules except that you could not use your hands or feet while fighting over the ball; if you did, you were out for the day. This rule seems quite logical since people were using their heads and fists rather than balls nowadays for fighting purposes anyway. A formal association game with a ball came much later, in England, in 1863.
