On 13 September 1924 Everton were playing against Tottenham Hotspurs, at White Hart Lane, and had been awarded a corner. Sam Chedgzoy (above) exploited a loophole in the rules, which did not state that the player taking the corner could not kick it more than once, and he dribbled the ball along the touchline and hammered it past the amazed Spurs keeper. The goal was disallowed, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw, but the FA later admitted that it was legal and should have stood; within 48 hours the rule was changed so that once a corner was taken the player taking it could not touch the ball again until another player had touched it; the rule change saw the introduction of the ‘short corner’.
