Yes but Soccer was in fact invented as a name in the UK even though we call the game football.\n\n\n\nThe English still called it a game of "football" because the ball was played primarily with the feet but in the late 18th Century, the word, "soccer", was first used by a student of Oxford University by the name of Charles Wreford Brown. The students at Oxford were known for using slang where they added "er" to the end of words that they intentionally shortened. The game of Rugby was called "rugger". Brown shortened the word "association" and added "er" and the term "soccer" was born.\n\nhttp://ezinearticles.com/?The-Origin-of-Soccer&id=244527

Gillingham.  \nCharlton Athletic.  Are they classed as Kent or south London?\nMaidstone United played in the 4th division when there was no premiership, just divisions 1, 2, 3 and 4.  \nCan't think of any more, Kent doesn't really have any good footy teams :(

Arguably soccer was invented in London in 1863 when men sat down to codify the games that they had enjoyed playing at their "public schools". An association called "The Football Association" was formed. The word "soccer" is short for "Association Football", as distinct from "Rugby Football", which was another sport codified by ex public schoolboys in the late 19th century.

Evidence from many ancient societies Chinese, Greek, Mayan, and Egyptian reveals that kicking games like soccer was played in those cultures. The modern game of soccer began in the 19th century in England, where a variety of football games developed, all of which involved both handling and kicking.\n\nLondon Football Association (FA) in 1863 established the first set of rules for soccer, which was played at that time mostly in private schools and universities. The FA Cup, a tournament first organized in 1871, sparked the rapid spread of soccer in England. Regular league\nplay started in England in 1888. A game in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1872 between an English all-star team and its Scottish counterpart marked the beginning of international play.\n\nSoccer's global spread began at the end of the 19th century, when British traders, sailors, and workers carried the sport all over the world.\nBy 1930 professional leagues were operating in many countries, and that year FIFA formed in 1904 and organized the first World Championship.\nNow known simply as the World Cup, the tournament is played every four years and has become the world's most popular sporting event.\n\nThe North American Soccer League (NASL), founded in 1968, brought Brazilian star Pelé to the United States, and by 1980 the league had 24 teams.\nThe NASL suffered financially, and in 1984 it went out of business.\nHowever, the league left a legacy of growing American involvement in the sport at youth level. By the 1990s, soccer was recognized as the fastest-growing college and high school sport in the United States.\nThe Soccer Industry Council of America estimated that by 1994 there were more than 13 million boys and girls under the age of 18 who played soccer.

In a Premiership game it was Teddy Sheringham for Nottigham Forest versus Liverpool in August 1992. However Sky showed live Italian and Scottish matches in pre Premiership days so someone else is the answer.

Brits actually invented the word. "Soccer," when it first appeared in the 1890s, was spelled "socca," which was short for "association" or "association football," meaning football played according to the rules laid down by the British Football Association. It was also called "socker" until the current form "soccer" appeared around 1895.
