The offside rule of 1921


August 27, 1921
Football fans ask the following question every season, so we answer it right away to save time and trouble: – Can a player be offside in his own half? – Yes, if he runs back from his opponents’ to get the ball and has less than three players between him and the opposite goal.
(Derby Daily Telegraph: August 27, 1921)
