4.9/5 (32712 ratings)

Description:From the author:Five years ago, I saw for the first time a book called the ‘Football Annual’ that ran from 1868 to 1908. It was started in 1868 as ‘John Lilywhite’s Football Annual’, edited by the FA Secretary, Charles W. Alcock and ‘Published with the sanction of the Football Association’. In each edition Football Secretaries were invited to apply for forms which had to be returned before May in each year, which included information such as when the Club was formed, where the Club Ground was situated and whether they played by Association or Rugby rules; so it included all Football Clubs, be they Association or Rugby Clubs. To ensure that I missed no football clubs I then cross referenced and added clubs that were not listed in the ‘Football Annuals’ but had entered either the FA Cup or were founder members of their local County FA. This gave me a total of 299 English Rugby-playing clubs and 768 English Association-playing clubs, as well as numerous school and military organisations; a lot of which was previously unseen data.At the end of five years’ research, I was left with over 5,000 pages of data and in 2017 I decided to extract all the research that applied purely to Sheffield and published a book called ‘A History of Sheffield Football 1857-1889: Speed, Science and Bottom’, which is now in its second edition and is available to purchase from this website. Two years later I published my 620 page distillation of the remaining data and ‘England’s Oldest Football Clubs 1815-1889: A new chronological classification of early football (Folk, School, Military, County, Rugby, & Association)’ was born. This edition has now sold out and in the summer of 2020 I produced an updated 640 page second edition.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
