Founding Fathers

In the news this week-descendants of 'the Founding Fathers of football' attended the unveiling of a plaque at Wembley Stadium on 21st October, commemorating the foundation of ther Football Association 150 years ago.
Football historians have been a bit perplexed by the FA's approach to this project, their failure to consult people who have already conducted extensive research into the  Founding Fathers.
Andy Mitchell's blog has a great piece on the topic:
