Summary[edit]

Description
English: Statue outside the MCG, commemorating the first recorded footy game.

The base of the statue says:
The first recorded game of Australian rules football was begun on the tree-dotted parklands outside the MCG by teams from Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar School on 7 August 1858. After three playing days the game ended in a draw with each team kicking one goal.

Each team selected its own umpire: Scotch College chose Dr. John Macadam and Melbourne Grammar School Tom Wills, who is depicted as the third figure in the sculpture. Tom Wills, a son of pastoral Australia and educated at Rugby School, England, did more than any other person, as a footballer and umpire, co-writer of the rules and promoter of the game, to develop Australian football during its first decade.

His enthusiasm and coaching resulted in the first Australian cricket team tour of England, the aboriginal team of 1868.
