The Ultimate Resource for Everything About English Football Clubs

This site is dedicated to the 92 football clubs that occupy the top four tiers of English professional football.

Of all the things said about the great game of football, to me the essence of the game comes down to these 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, which is why this site exists.

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.

So what can you expect to find on these pages?

For starters, there’s a brief history of each of the 92 professional football clubs in England. These are sorted by league, which makes it easy to navigate to your favourite team.

Want just the highlights? Navigate to the foot of each page where you’ll find a set of icons.

This one takes you to the Timeline – sort of a potted history of the football club.
