I discovered a football club from my home town were founder members of the Football Association in 1863. I soon realised nobody knew anything about them... so I did some digging.

A great image here of Surbiton at the time of the games. Most likely they were played on the fields shown here. https://twitter.com/kanedr/status/1290218334768619522?s=20">https://twitter.com/kanedr/st...
Thanks to @paulbrownUK for hosting this story on his Soccer Stories section of @Medium - it& #39;s the first time I& #39;ve published on there, and he helped me work out how everything works. The channel archive is well worth a look.
