His major work, The Anatomie of Abuses, was first published in 1583. P hilip Stubbes had a gift for keen observatio n. Although his comments should not be considered to reveal mainstream thought or opinions of the time, (even his contempora ries thought him extreme) his virulent attacks on the abuses in fashion and English society provide us with a detailed, colorful and picturesqu e glimpse into the England of Shakespear e's youth. http://name.umdl.umich.edu/A13086.0001.001 Thu, 08 Jun 2006 23:29:48 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=12073 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=12073 OK, it's not really football as we know it, maybe a closer description would be something akin to rugby or gaelic football. Or, no-rules rugby more like! Gameball, to give it its proper name, consisted of getting a ball into your opposing teams goals. Which might have been anything, a place, a house, a doorway, a gate, then next village even. http://livinghistory.co.uk/homepages/periodgames/football.html Wed, 22 Jun 2005 18:25:03 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=8601 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=8601 Quotes and illustrations concerning the game now known as soccer. In the late 16th and early 17th centuries, "foote-ball" was a primitive game that involved a ball and scoring.
