Podcast: England’s Oldest Football Clubs

We chat to Martin Westby, author of England’s Oldest Football Clubs into the roots of the game and its pioneer clubs.

Is Sheffield the cradle of the global game? What role did Nottingham and the Lancashire clubs play in the game’s development and learn how the Football Association very nearly folded a few years after its foundation.

Please note this podcast was recorded via phone call so sounds a little different to our usual episodes.
