Answer provided by Referee Powell

No body seems to want to field these questions.....I will have a go but cannot gaurantee they are correct...1 most injured part of a player is either knee or ankle as they tend to get the most grief...2 The thigh muscle is the one that puts the power into a shot but its no use without every other muscle cooperating in harmony...3 I have copied this from FIFAs website for you.....1580: A certain Giovanni Bardi published a set of rules of the game of "calcio". .1848: The first Cambridge Rules are drawn up. .1877: The associations in Great Britain formed to gain a uniform code. .1886: 2 June 1886: first official meeting of the International Football Association Board. .1891: Introduction of the penalty-kick. .1913: FIFA becomes a member of the International F.A. Board. .1925: Amendment of off-side rule from three to two players. .1937-38: The present Laws framed in a new system of codification but based on the Laws previously in force. .1997: The Laws revised. ..Hope that helps a little..Keep Smiling.Steve Powell
