William Webb Ellis did not "invented" the game. Apparently, during an Association Football match (the code of Football we know in Spain as Fútbol), called Soccer (after asSOCiation) in the USA and, some times, in the UK, he picked up the ball and carried it running to the opponent team end zone; the goal. This action liked in the University of Rugby and they began to play this "new" game as a diferent Code of football: the Rugby Football o, simply, Rugby. There are other Codes: American (in the USA, they simply say 'Football'), Australian Football, Gaelic Footbal, Calcio (and ancient Ball game in Italy)...

William Webb Ellis was an English Anglican clergyman who, by tradition, has been credited as the inventor of rugby when he was a student at Rugby School. According to legend, Webb Ellis picked up the ball and ran with it during a school football game in 1823, thus creating the "rugby" style of play.
