The History of English football is a long and detailed
one, as it is not only the national sport but England was where the game was
developed and codified. The modern global game of Football was first codified in 1863 in London.
The impetus for this was to unify English public school and university football
games. There is evidence for refereed, team football games being played in
English schools since at least 1581. An account of an exclusively kicking
football game from Nottinghamshire in the 15th century bears
similarity to football. England can boast the earliest ever documented use of
the English word "football" (1409) and the earliest reference to the
sport in French (1314). England is home to the oldest football clubs in the
world (dating from at least 1857), the world's oldest competition (the FA Cup
founded in 1871) and the first ever football league (1888). For these reasons
England is considered the home of the game of football.
In 1961 Bukta won the contract, and produced a long-sleeved crew-neck design for the FA Centenary match in 1963.
