London has many claims to fame; it’s the most populated national capital in Europe, and a world centre of international finance, ocean navigation, and video game and fashion design – among many others. However, to sports fans, London is famous for football.

Football is, of course, the most popular sport in the world today. However, such enormous popularity seems almost inconceivable, when you consider how it all started.
