It may come as a surprise
to learn that twelve of the clubs that have played in
the FA Premier League owe
their existence to a church. Sadly, most of the pioneers
who planted the tiny seeds that led to the eventual
greatness and fame of these clubs get little more than a
passing mention in club histories. In some cases
even their names are wrong.
Peter Lupson has set the record straight. Drawing on
original materials from a variety of sources he has
been able to bring these pioneers to life and to
transport us back to the time in which they lived. He
shows us that their motives were not fame and fortune
but the simple pleasure of friendship and the sheer
fun of playing.
Their remarkable contribution to our great national game
is at last given the recognition they deserve. We
have good reason to thank God for them.
