The word soccer came into use in the late 19th century and has its origins in the word 'As-soc-iation' (as in association football). The practice of adapting words in this way (and adding an '-er' ending to them) also spawned the word 'rugger' and was particularly common among young Victorian gentlemen of the time. England international C Wreford-Brown, who played for both Oxford University and Corinthians, is the man widely credited with first using the term. Americans are, of course, eternally grateful to Mr Wreford-Brown. --- from the book Motson's National Obsession; The Greatest Football Trvia Book Ever... Hope this helps.
