Morley was born at 10 Garden Square, Princess Street[2] in Hull[3] and lived in the city until he was 22.[2] Morley qualified as a lawyer in 1854, and in 1858 he moved to the London suburb of Barnes to practice as a solicitor in the capital.[3] He founded Barnes Football Club in 1862.[3] In 1863, as captain of the Mortlake-based club, he wrote to Bell's Life newspaper proposing a governing body for the sport. This led to the first meeting of the FA at Freemasons' Tavern, on October 26th, 1863. At this meeting, Morley was elected the first secretary of the association.[4] He created the first draft of the rules, that were considered on the FA meeting of November 10th of that year. It was Morley, along with John Alcock and Arthur Pember, who led the move to eliminate rugby-style carrying of the ball and "hacking" (kicking opponents' shins) from the draft rules before they were published in December 1863.[5] Morley continued to serve as FA secretary until 1866. He resigned as secretary that year on account of the demands of his business, but subsequently served as that body's second president, from 1867 to 1874.[3] As a player, he played in the first ever match under FA rules, against Richmond in 1863, and also scored for London in the London v Sheffield match held on 31 March 1866. A solicitor by profession, Morley was a keen oarsman, founding the Barnes and Mortlake Regatta for which he was also secretary (1862–1880). He was also a keen fox hunter, keeping his own pack of beagles.[3]He served on Surrey County Council for Barnes (1903–1919) and was a Justice of the Peace. Morley is buried[6] in Barnes Cemetery, a now abandoned graveyard on Barnes Common, Barnes. He had no children.[6] The house at which Morley created the first draft of the FA's laws (No 26 The Terrace) carried a blue plaque to Morley. It subsequently collapsed "like a tower of cards" in November 2015 during building work.[7][8] Morley was the subject of a Google Doodle on 16 August 2018, the 187th anniversary of his birth.[9] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thefa.com/~/media/74447FE08E0E4A24A15CE70CFC767806.ashx|title=Findings on Ebenezer Cobb Morley (1831-1924)|publisher=The FA|format=PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151219172939/http://www.thefa.com/~/media/74447FE08E0E4A24A15CE70CFC767806.ashx|archivedate=19 December 2015|dead-url=yes}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/news/Memorial-FA-founder-Ebenezer-Cobb-Morley/article-1810985-detail/article.html|title=Memorial to FA founder Ebenezer Cobb Morley|work=Hull Daily Mail|date=6 February 2010|accessdate=22 October 2013}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_019861389x/page/212|title=Morley, Ebenezer Cobb (1831–1924)|last=Butler|first=Bryon|date=January 2009|work=Oxford Dictionary of National Biography|publisher=Oxford University Press|accessdate=9 August 2009}} 4. ^{{cite journal |url=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Meeting_of_Captains_(Bell%27s_Life_in_London)_1863_10_31.png |title=Meeting of Captains |work=Bell's Life in London |date=1863-10-31 |page=10}} 5. ^{{cite journal |url=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Football_Association_(Bells_Life_in_London)_1863-11-28.png |title=The Football Association |work=Bell's Life in London |date=1863-11-28 |page=6}} 6. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article3694775.ece|title=The father of football deserves much more|last=Rudd|first=Alyson|publisher=Times Online | location=London | date=7 April 2008 | accessdate=1 May 2010}} 7. ^{{cite news | url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/12019526/Mansion-that-belonged-to-singer-Duffy-and-former-Phones-4U-boss-collapses.html | title=Mansion that belonged to singer Duffy and former Phones 4U boss collapses | work=The Daily Telegraph | date=26 November 2015 | accessdate=16 August 2017}} 8. ^{{cite news | title=Search for founding fathers of football proves fruitless |url= http://www.richmondandtwickenhamtimes.co.uk/news/10416647.Search_for_founding_fathers_of_football_proves_fruitless/?ref=rss| work= Richmond and Twickenham Times | author=Dyduch, Amy|date=14 May 2013 | accessdate=29 September 2016}} 9. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.news.com.au/sport/football/google-honours-the-father-of-football-on-his-187th-birthday/news-story/1085e4c6830c37c786f9116a9d94058d|title=Google honours the ‘father of football’|last=|first=|date=16 August 2018|work=news.com.au|access-date=16 August 2018}} External links
