 History Of football Sometime around 1050, Englishmen dug up a skull of a dane and started to kick it around in frustration toward the dane. Association football more commonly known as football or soccer, a sport played between 2 slides of 11 players with a spherical ball. Football is the worlds most popular sport. Outfield players move the ball with any part of the body except their hands or arms, whilst the ball is in play.In 1888, William Gregor a gentleman from Perthshire and a director of Aston Villa F.C was the main force between meetings held in London and Manchester involving 12 football clubs, with an eye to a league competition. These 12 clubs would later become the football League's 12 founder members. Sheffield, England, is the world's oldest surviving independent football club –that is, the oldest club not associated with an institution such as a school, hospital or university. It was founded in 1857.
