:thumbsup:Very good guitarist, not sure about his football credentials though. Despite that, and the fact he died 13 years ago, I`d love to see him appointed.:)

Don`t give up your day job just yet fella.

I am not 100% sure on this so please don`t pull me up on it, but I think it was the fact that pro football in the south was in it`s infancy, if you will, compared to the north. As it was a charity match, two professional clubs would attract more spectators than the previous amateur v...

No mate, southern teams were not ineligible for the Football League at the time. Spurs, (Woolwich) Arsenal, Bristol C., Fulham, Clapton(now Leyton) Orient and Chelsea were then members. Your, probably unwitting, use of double irony proves my point. I am not complaining though as I expect to be...

:clap2: I`ll do my best not to get relegated, thank you, though I thought we stopped relegation to the colonies in the 1800`s. I am a law abiding citizen anyway, so my chances of falling foul of the relegation system are slim. Nice eloquent use of the English language there too. You can hold...

1. The posters who claimed Brighton were 1910 national champions are the ones who cannot be taken seriously. 2. Aston Villa were champions in 1910, hence the reason Brighton, as Southern League champions, contested the Charity Shield with them. Evidence of Villa being champions that year can be...

Now that you have awakened me sydkant, what do you wish to tell me?

Just as I thought then. It WAS just a load of bull after all. Obviously if it were true you would be falling over yourselves to put me in my place. The fact that you are not just proves what a load of claptrap you lot spout I suppose. Fair enough lads. I look forward to locking horns again, the...

By contrast, the silence of those on here, clamouring to prove earlier claims, is deafening.

Where on the internet does it say you were national champions in 1910. Your earlier link merely confirms you won the Charity Shield.

I`ll be surprised if any of you can name an official book that declared you as champions in 1910, as claimed. I am calling your bluff.

Actually I will not. I just want one of the clever trousers on here who claim that history books tell of the Weed being National Champions in 1910 to prove it. Otherwise you cannot be taken seriously.

Yes, yes, I am aware you won the Charity Shield in 1910. Now stop trying to avoid the issue. People on here are claiming that "official football history" books verify that made you National Champions. I disagree, and have never seen it written in any football history book. If you want to be...

Come on lads. It`s been four months, and still you have not disclosed the title of a single football history book that bears you out. I`m beginning to think you were just bull****ting me.

Good to see some of you have a sense of humour. Merry christmas lads.
