Charles Farmer (footballer)
Charles Edward Farmer (24 May 1847 - 23 December 1935) was a association football, footballer and solicitor, who won an FA Cup runners-up medal. Early life Farmer was born in the family home, Nonsuch Mansion in Cheam, in 1847 and, after early education at Cheam School, went up to Eton College in 1861, where he was a contemporary of Arthur Kinnaird, 11th Lord Kinnaird, Arthur Kinnaird. Unlike most of his Etonian team-mates, Farmer did not enter further education; indeed he left Eton after only two years to enter the legal world. He started undertaking his Articled clerk, articles with a solicitor in Mayfair in 1864. After qualification he worked in the Chancery Register's Office.

Harrow Chequers
Harrow Chequers Football Club was a football club from London, England in the 1860s to early 1890s. It played as the Harrow Chequers from 1865 to 1876, when it was then renamed the Old Harrovians, and continued play until at least 1891. Derived from former pupils of Harrow School, the club was involved in the formation of the FA Cup in 1871. It was slated to play in three of the first six FA Cup competitions in the 1870s, but they forfeited each time, and never contested an FA Cup match as the Chequers. One of their players, however, Morton Betts, is remembered for scoring the first (and only) goal in the first ever FA Cup Final in 1872, which is essentially all that is remembered today of the club. However, as the Old Harrovians, the team had some more success, including reaching the semifinals of the 1877–78 FA Cup. History Harrow Chequers The club was formed in 1865, "consisting of Harrovians past and present", and its first reported game was in November that year. C ...

Football Annual
__NOTOC__ The ''Football Annual'' was a reference work published annually from 1868 to 1908. It reported on the various codes of football played in England, and also provided some coverage of the other home nations, supplemented on occasion by reports from around the world. While association and rugby football provided its main focus, it also included some material on public school football, Sheffield football (until that code merged with association football in 1877), and, on occasion, even Australian and American football. A typical issue would include laws of the various codes, a summary of the preceding season, a listing of football clubs in England (including such details as each club's ground, secretary, and colours), and essays about aspects of the game. The ''Football Annual'' was edited for almost its entire existence by Charles Alcock. Upon Alcock's death in early 1907, the two final editions were edited by others. It ceased publication after the 1908 edition. L ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lillie Bridge
The Lillie Bridge Grounds was a sports ground on the Fulham side of West Brompton, London. It opened in 1866, coinciding with the opening of West Brompton station. It was named after the local landowner, Sir John Scott Lillie (1790–1868) and the Lillie bridge over the West London Line, that links Old Brompton Road with Lillie Road. The grounds were adjacent to the railway on the south side of Lillie Road. Although geographically near to present day Stamford Bridge, there was never direct access, there being the 13 acre now defunct Western Hospital site between the two. The ground was the scene in its day of many sports including athletics, boxing, cricket, cycling and football, and hosted the FA Cup Final in 1873. It closed in 1888 following a riot reported in ''The Times''. History The London Athletic Club, founded in 1866, moved to the Grounds in 1869 where it stayed until 1876, prior to its transfer to Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, the venue began hosting other sports in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
