Peter Grove of Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire England asks...

I'd just like to point out a couple of date errors in the previous responses to this question. Firstly, the 'great rewrite' of the Laws came in 1997, not 1996. Secondly, the amendment to allow goal kicks to be taken from anywhere within the goal area...
