So this end of March beginning April 1971?

No - it was not long after the start of the season.

The player I'm after never played for Watford - he was born there, next to the stadium.

Where and approximately when were the first rules of football drawn up ?

 

[Bolton's Boots]

In Edinburgh.
The Foot-Ball Club of Edinburgh was founded in 1824 - and a set of rules was found written on the back of the club's budget statement for 1833 - thought to be the earliest written rules of football.

As usual, you have found a better answer than the one I was expecting ! Bah ! I'll give it to you. My answer was 'The Cambridge rules' originally believed to be1848, but then an earlier version dated 1838 was , I thought, the earliest version.
