Career
Rule began his footballing career with Sheppey United. He also worked as an Admiralty clerk in Whitehall, London.[1] In 1894, he joined New Brompton and in his sole season with the team scored 22 goals in 12 matches as the team won the Southern League Division Two championship, including tallies of three, five and four in the final three matches of the season.[2]
Rule was top scorer for Sheppey two consecutive seasons and had interest from Woolwich Arsenal and Millwall but chose to join Tottenham Hotspur.[1] His debut for Spurs occurred on 11 March 1899 away to Woolwich Arsenal in the United League, which Tottenham lost 2–1.[3] Rule's footballing career was restricted due to his commitment to the Admiralty but he did play for Portsmouth, Ryde and Brighton & Hove Albion.[1]
