On September 8, 1888, the world's first professional football league kicked off in England, marking the start of a remarkable journey that has now spanned more than 120 full seasons.
From its humble beginnings with just one division of twelve clubs, the Football League grew to include four divisions and 92 teams, incorporating the Premier League at the summit of its structure in 1992. Today, the Premier League and Football League are the envy of the global game.
In this groundbreaking work, author Ian Laschke offers an unparalleled compendium of the results, tables and dates of every match ever played in league history. For the first time in one volume this book presents all this information in a unique format alongside each team's top goalscorer for every season.
Packed with a treasure trove of additional insights, much of it never before published, this book is a goldmine for football statisticians and a must-have for fans of English football, both past and present.
