On 25 August 1928, Arsenal and Chelsea wore numbered shirts in their matches against The Wednesday (renamed Sheffield Wednesday soon after) and Swansea Town, respectively.  This is the earliest record of the use of shirt numbers in Football League play.\n\nCards were introduced in the 1970 WC in Mexico\n\nThe 2006 ball is about 10% lighter and 10% more accurate than the previous one, no idea abt the weight\n\nThe offside rule has been constantly modified over the ages most recently in 2003, the first versions were drawn out in 1848 if my memory is right.

I am sure Bobby Moore took a quick free-kick, which Geoff Hurst headed in to make it 1-1. My dad was at all of England's games in that World Cup.

If I remember rightly, Florent Sinama Pongolle got the first just minutes after coming on as sub. Neil Mellor scored the second again just after coming off the bench and Steve Gerrard scored the third to put us through with a superb strike in the dying moments. You beauty! Andy Gray is a Kopite!

Bolton Wanderers 2 West Ham United 0 (FACF)\nWembley's first event was the FA Cup Final of 1923 and that April day was marked by some unprecedented scenes. Before the match a huge crowd outside the stadium rushed the gates, burst through the barriers and swarmed onto the field of play. More than 200,000 people attempted to squeeze into a ground that had been built to accommodate 125,000.\n\nIt took forty-five minutes after the time fixed for the kick-off for mounted police to clear the pitch, with PC George Scorey and his white horse "Billy" particularly visible. The first Wembley goal came only a couple of minutes after the delayed start, and David Jack, Bolton's inside-right, was the scorer. Eight minutes into the second period Bolton scored another, clinching goal. John Smith took a pass from Vizard on the left and sent in a half-volley. The ball hit the back of a net pulled tight by the crowd behind it and rebounded back into play.\n\n\nSo the answer is David Jack of Bolton Wanderers

The most goals was in an English Premier League match in 1893. Ipswich Town dft. Hearts (that time Scotland was under the FA) 71-47 coz both needed goals to survive relegation. They had a formation 6-5-0. In those days having a Goal-Keeper wasn't mandatory per team.\nNow the last few matches of the EPL are played together so no fixing takes place.\nI thought Aus had won 32-0, not 31, whatever.\nPlease read the book "Football's strangest matches." It has 96 stories from the beginning of soccer history.\nThe best clean sheet was 43-0. I don't remember the teams involved, though that too was an EPL game.\nAnother trivia:- Leicester United came back from 0-17 after 53 mins to win the game 23-21.\nI should have been born in those days!!!

I have heard about that game. That must have been a great game, with the only hat trick. Anyway, Both Sir Geoffrey Charles Hurst and Martin Stanford Peters played for the West Ham United Football Club. Great question man.

Arbroath vs Bon Accord 36-0 in a Scottish league game in the 19th century.... \n\n Hmmm not sure about league football but I am pretty sure that for the World Cup, including qualifying the record is Australia 31-0 American Samoa from 2002Jocky Petrie scored 13 goals in that game, also a record as the most goals by a single player in a British senior match. the victory is still the largest ever recorded & it's the world record.

Before the major change to the offside rule in 1925, teams would play a 2-3-5 formation - goalkeeper, two full backs, three half backs and five forwards.  The forwards would play in a line and were given the the names Outside Right, Inside Right, Centre Forward, Inside Left, Outside Left (The outside forwards were also known as wingers).  Therefore the inside forward played between the centre forward and the outside forward/winger.  Tradionionally the inside right would wear the number 8 shirt and the inside left the number 10 (like Pele and Maradonna).\n\nFollowing the 1925 change in the offside rule most teams adopted what was called a WM formation.  Under this formation (a bit similar to the modern 4-5-1 formation with a holding midfielder), the inside forwards dropped back behind the centre forward.  A favoured tactic was that the winger would cross the ball to the centre forward who would then lay the ball back to the inside forward who made a late run into the Penalty Area.  This play is difficult to defend against.\n\nToday the name is rather anachronistic with the wide variety of formations adopted by teams, but is used to refer to an attacking central midfield player or a forward who drops back in a 4-4-1-1 formation.
