I love looking through clubs’ histories unearthing their origins, so interesting how our game took a hold on the country and then the world.
I did a grounds picture quiz in the blog years ago which featured the Nest. I’d not heard of it before and was amazed that league football could ever be played there - pretty sure the photo in this piece is the one I used - the article is well worth a read.

Watched this interesting video about Arsenal’s origins a couple of weeks ago. I’d heard of Dial Square, but the fact you can have a pint there came as a surprise.
