NUFC Origins

[SirBR]

I was reading through NUFC.com and they have a small piece called "Ground Zero" with this link:

Basically someone has looked into the early beginings of NUFC and how they came to settle at SJP, if you are familiar with the area it makes an interesting read.

***I can't copy and paste as it has pics and maps included.***

Good read that mate!

I never knew NUFC started off as a cricket team

I think thats how most clubs did, just for something to do when cold!

My local team started when two of the areas five-a-side teams came together and decided to play with the correct number of players. At least thats what they claim...
