Sorry I completely misread your post...My brain swapped "headers" for "goals" somehow >.>

Sheffield FC was formed in 1857 and joined the FA in 1863, however it didn;t adopt the FA's codes in full until 1877. Instead it used "Sheffield rules" which invented the first solid crossbars, heading, throw-ins, corner kicks and awarding free kicks. They also invented the technique of bending the ball when you shoot.
