英國私立學(xué)校對促進(jìn)現(xiàn)代足球的發(fā)展

有著不可磨滅的功勞？

請聽我們細(xì)細(xì)道來

//現(xiàn)代足球與英國公學(xué)

最早關(guān)于足球的詳細(xì)文字記載可以追溯到1519年，由曾經(jīng)在伊頓和溫徹斯特?fù)?dān)任校長的William Herman 記錄。

英國畫家托馬斯所畫的足球運(yùn)動

17世紀(jì)，已有雛形的足球運(yùn)動開始風(fēng)靡于英國各公學(xué)，其中以哈羅公學(xué)、伊頓公學(xué)、拉格比公學(xué)、和溫徹斯特公學(xué)的足球運(yùn)動最富盛名，師生們把民間的市井足球（Mob Football）轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)榱擞幸?guī)則的體育運(yùn)動。

19世紀(jì)，第一部廣泛流傳的足球規(guī)則，就參考了各公學(xué)的規(guī)則?，F(xiàn)代足球隊有11個球員，源自公學(xué)的宿舍通常由10名學(xué)生加1名老師組成。而公學(xué)之間的比賽也成為傳統(tǒng)，著名的比賽包括1834年哈羅公學(xué)對伊頓公學(xué)和1859年哈羅公學(xué)對威斯敏斯特公學(xué)。

足球的運(yùn)動規(guī)則更是在英國各公學(xué)的比賽和實踐中得以不斷完善和細(xì)化，比如首次劃分了“踢球”（kicking）和“帶球”（Carrying）的區(qū)別，這成為了現(xiàn)代足球運(yùn)動的基礎(chǔ)。

// 哈羅公學(xué)獨(dú)有的哈羅足球

以上說的是現(xiàn)代足球，但在現(xiàn)代足球成型之前，它的其中一個前身名為“哈羅足球（Harrow Football）”。作為英國最古老的公學(xué)之一，時至今日，哈羅公學(xué)的學(xué)生除了當(dāng)代足球，還保留著哈羅足球這項獨(dú)特的體育項目。

不同于現(xiàn)代足球，哈羅足球是一項介于足球和橄欖球之間的運(yùn)動。誕生于200多年前的哈羅足球，并不完全是一個圓球，而是一個用硬牛皮縫制而成的橢圓形球，尺寸也略大，比賽往往在泥濘的草地中進(jìn)行。

這是因為在英國哈羅公學(xué)建校初期，學(xué)校運(yùn)動場地緊張，眾多農(nóng)場的田地也被當(dāng)作足球場使用，逐漸這些充滿泥濘、凹凸不平的田地幾乎為哈羅足球運(yùn)動提供了便利。

哈羅足球又大又不規(guī)則，材料會吸水，在比賽進(jìn)行過程中會變得潮濕并沾滿泥土，隨著比賽的進(jìn)行會越來越重。在哈羅足球比賽中，一隊各有11名球員，進(jìn)球多者獲勝。球員主要用腳踢球，但是在特定情況下，球員可以用雙手或者手臂等其他身體部位滾動足球。

哈羅足球賽季會持續(xù)幾周，在創(chuàng)校日達(dá)到高潮，哈羅的畢業(yè)生們會回到學(xué)校參加友誼賽。該運(yùn)動是哈羅獨(dú)家，所有比賽在哈羅校園內(nèi)舉行，一般是現(xiàn)在校生內(nèi)部或者與老校友之間的對抗賽。不過，如今，哈羅公學(xué)也會舉辦與其他學(xué)校（比如伊頓）的聯(lián)誼賽。

已故英國女王伊麗莎白二世在1957年訪問英國哈羅公學(xué)時，對這枚哈羅足球頗有興趣，還專門在校園觀摩了哈羅足球比賽。

//跨越450年，哈羅足球到珠海

正值哈羅公學(xué)創(chuàng)校450周年之際，哈羅公學(xué)舉辦了一次全球校區(qū)的哈羅足球傳遞活動。這枚歷史悠久、別具一格的哈羅足球作為哈羅450周年慶典“大使”，從倫敦出發(fā)，開啟了它的環(huán)球之旅，與哈羅學(xué)子見面。

哈羅足球飛越了大江大河，路程上萬公里，在各個校區(qū)間接力傳遞，足跡踏遍北京、曼谷、?？凇⒛蠈?、上海等其他AISL哈羅學(xué)校。

這些孩子們簽名的特制信紙，將被寄回倫敦哈羅公學(xué)，并由哈羅協(xié)會（Harrow Association）收集，統(tǒng)一保存在哈羅歷史檔案庫中，與全球哈羅人的信件一起封存。

從1572年建校，到2022年，英國哈羅公學(xué)走過了450年，在泥濘里進(jìn)行的哈羅足球作為哈羅獨(dú)特的一項運(yùn)動，也沿著時間的長河滾滾而來，成為哈羅校友共同的美好記憶。

The wonderful global sporting event, Qatar World Cup

came to an end last weekend

Argentina won the Cup for the second time in 36 years

And the final, with all its twists and turns

will be remembered by fans around the world for the rest of their lives

"This is football! The glamour of sport!"

And if you love football, do you know

the origins of modern football

has its roots in British public schools?

Here is the story :

//Modern Football

and British Public Schools

The earliest written reference to football dates to 1519, recorded by William Herman, who headed both Eton and Winchester.

The football game by the English painter Thomas

In the 17th century, football began to take shape in English public schools, with Harrow, Eton, Rugby and Winchester schools being the most famous, as students and teachers transformed the mob football into a regular sport.

Mob Football

The first widely circulated rules for football in the 19th century referenced the rules of the various public schools. Modern football teams have 11 players, originating from the dormitories of the public schools which usually consisted of 10 students plus 1 teacher. Matches between public schools also became a tradition, with known matches including Harrow School v Eton School in 1834 and Harrow School v Westminster School in 1859.

Harrow Football Team

The rules of football were refined through the games and practices of English public schools, such as the first distinction between "kicking" and "carrying", which became the basis of modern football.

The inter-school tournament between public schools has become a traditional school culture

The development of football as a sporting event was profoundly influenced

In 1871, Charles Alcock, Secretary of the Football Association

recalled the inter-school leagues he had played in when he was at Harrow School

He proposed a cup scheme

The FA Cup as we know it today

The FA Cup was first played in March 1872, with Wanderers winning the final and lifting the first Cup. The majority of the club"s players were graduates of Harrow School.

// Harrow Football,

Unique to Harrow School

What we mentioned above is modern football, but before modern football took shape, one of its predecessors was called "Harrow Football". As one of the oldest public schools in the UK, Harrow students still play Harrow Football as a unique sport, alongside contemporary football.

Unlike modern football, Harrow football is a sport that is somewhere between football and rugby. Born over 200 years ago, Harrow football is not exactly a round ball, but an oval ball sewn from hard cowhide and slightly larger in size, with matches often played on muddy grass.

This was because in the early days of Harrow School in UK, school playing fields were tight and numerous farm fields were used as football pitches, and gradually these mud-filled, uneven fields almost facilitated the game.

The Harrow football is large and irregular and the material absorbs water, becoming wet, muddy and heavier as the game progresses. Each team has 11 players and the one who scores the most goals wins. Players mainly use their feet to kick the ball, but in certain circumstances they can roll the ball with their hands or arms.

The Harrow football season lasts for several weeks and culminates in Founders" Day when Harrow graduates return to school to play in friendly matches. The sport is exclusive to Harrow and all matches are played on Harrow"s campus, usually against each other within the current school population or with older alumni. Harrow School also hosts friendly matches with other schools (such as Eton).

The late Queen Elizabeth II took an interest in this Harrow football when she visited Harrow School in 1957 and watched a Harrow football match on campus.

//Harrow Football Comes to Zhuhai

To celebrate the 450th anniversary of the founding of Harrow School, a historical and distinctive Harrow football set off on its journey around the world from London to meet Harrow students all over the world in different Harrow campuses as an ambassador for the 450th anniversary.

The Harrow football has travelled thousands of kilometres across half of globe , and has been passed on from campus to campus. The Harrow football travelled to AISL Harrow schools including Beijing, Bangkok, Haikou, Nanning and Shanghai.

The football arrived at Harrow Zhuhai in November and was greeted happily by expectant students and teachers. Harrow students excitedly took photos with the Harrow football and solemnly wrote down their name and their wishes and love for our Harrow community.

The special letters, signed by the children, will be sent back to Harrow School in London and collected by the Harrow Association for safekeeping in the Harrow History Archive, where they will be sealed with the letters of Harrovians around the world.

From1572 to 2022, Harrow School has travelled 450 years, and Harrow football played in the mud, a sport unique to Harrow, has rolled along the river of time, becoming a fond memory shared by Harrow alumni.

Across time, leaping mountains and seas

the spirit of football has always been a source of inspiration for all those who love it

Challenge yourself, face the odds and work together as a team

Harrow football will continue to be passed on

The baton will continue to be passed on from one Harrow student to another

on the journey to a better future!
