Do You Play Fooball?
Stubbs « Anatomie of Abuses in the Realme of England », 1583.

For doth not everyone lye in waight for his adversarie, seeking to overthrowe him and pick him on his nose, though it be on hard stones, on ditch or dale, valley or hill, or whatever place soever it be he careth not, so he have him downe; and he than can serve the most of this fashion he is counted the only felow, and who but he ?
