According to the tradition, William Webb Ellis invented rugby in 1823 by caughting a ball with his hands during a football (soccer).

The anecdote being true or not, the trophy of the Rugby World Cup still carries his name since its creation.

(I really hope I’ll be able to attend the next world cup, since it’s in England :D.)
