The Ultimate Resource for Everything About
English Football Clubs

A site dedicated to the 92 football clubs in the top 4 divisions of English football.

Of all the things said about the great game of football, to me the essence of the game comes down to three quotes;

"Football is the beautiful game."
Pele

"Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that."
Bill Shankly

"Football, bloody, sodding, hateful, glorious football."
Sir Alex Ferguson

I happen to concur with these three legends of the game. Football is beautiful, glorious and at times hateful. Whether it's more important than life and death, I'll leave for you to decide. It certainly feels that way to me sometimes.

My own obsession with football in general, and English football in particular, began when I was seven years old. My cousin gave me a scrapbook he'd compiled about his favourite team. I was hooked and soon started putting together phone book sized compilations of my own.

the-football-club.com is the natural successor to those "cut and paste" collections.
