Sheffield FC, the world’s oldest football club came into existence in 1855. The oldest still existing league club is Notts County, which was formed in 1862. As more and more clubs were set up the lack of a governing body for the game began to cause problems. This gap was filled when; following a meeting in October 1863 at “The Freemason’s Tavern”, Great Queen Street, London, ‘The Football Association’ was formed, with Mr. A. Pember, the first president, and ten other founder members present.
One of the FA’s first priorities was to establish the rules of the game for all members to abide by. Initially there were some difficulties as at that stage the public schools were still playing by their own rules established at the 1848 meeting. Eventually they were persuaded and the first FA rules were published in December 1862. However there was still considerable ill feeling about the rules and many disagreements primarily between the ‘Associationists’ and the ‘Rugby Unionists’, this led to a split with the latter leaving the FA to develop their own game and ‘The Rugby Football Union’.

The new professionals needed more regular competitive football in which they could compete, which led to the creation of the Football League in 1888 by Aston Villa director William McGregor. This was dominated by those clubs who had supported professionalism, and the twelve founding members consisted of six from Lancashire (Blackburn Rovers, Burnley, Bolton Wanderers, Accrington, Everton and Preston North End) and six from the Midlands (Derby County, Notts County, Stoke, West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers).
