and this...

By 1880 membership of the FA was up to 128 clubs and associations. Including 80 from the south of England, 41 from the north, 6 from Scotland and 1 from Australia. The year 1882 saw the introduction of the two-handed throw-in.

aargh! see what you mean...

The 1872 final was staged at the Kennington Oval (London). The following year it was played at Lillie Bridge (also in London). It returned to Kennington between 1874 and 1892.

"Football's rules were changing during this period. 11-a-side teams were introduced in 1841, the referee in 1845, the cross bar over the goal and the half time break in 1875, the throw-in replaced the kick-in (1877)."

Thanks for your help .You seem to have come to the same conclusion as me probably 1882 but possibly 1877 I have also found mention of it in an early cup final . The one handed throw at right angles obviously carried on into rugby, but I haven't come to a firm conclusion as to whether its when the one handed throw came into force or when the two handed one did. Bit of a minefield but thanks again

the one handed throw would replace a kick in
