Synopsis

This book will look into the inception of Football in East London, starting with the former public schoolboy ‘Gentleman’ amateurs of the 1870s, the game being taken up by the industrial workers of the following decade during their leisure time, the birth of professional football in the Eastern quarter of London at the end of the nineteenth century, how Football developed into a commercial enterprise at the start of the twentieth century and how football followed the Eastenders out to the Essex suburbs as the twentieth century progressed. The clubs this book features are, among others the Forest FC, The Wanderers, Upton Park FC, Clapton, Old Castle Swifts, Thames Ironworks, West Ham United, Millwall, Arsenal (not an East End side, however their movements and actions are very important to the story of, and the development of East End football), Leyton Orient, Thames Association FC, Hornchurch FC, Ford United, Redbridge FC, Dagenham & Redbridge and their predecessor sides of Walthamstow Avenue, Leytonstone, Ilford, Dagenham FC and Redbridge Forest.
