There have been many times when I've wanted some information on a
football club, e.g. trophies won, most goals scored by a player, directions to the ground, etc., and have had to scour the internet to gain the knowledge. With this in mind, I've embarked on a long term project to assemble the basic information on every professional football club under one website. It is currently here -
http://football-knowledge.webs.com/.
When one considers that in the
English Football League alone there are 92 teams, with more professional and
semi-professional teams in the non-league system, then it is quite a mammoth undertaking. When the other
Home Nations leagues are taken into account (
Scotland,
Wales,
Northern Ireland and
Eire) then, for the
UK and Ireland alone, this project will take some time to finish. However, I hope to include every major league for all countries in the world which holds "The Beautiful Game" dear to its collective heart.
The point of the website is to give the reader an insight into the history of the club without

bombarding the fan with too much information. Most fans would want to know who their club's all time top scorer is and who has made the most appearances for their team. However, I'm open to suggestions for what readers might want included on the site, so a Feeback Form is included on the "Contacts" page.
I aim to add a "Members" page with a forum for both national and international discussion on football matters. I for one am intrigued as to what the average A-League fan thinks about the Australian game or what a Sante Fe fan believes is the most important issue in the
Colombian league.

The "Honours" page is intended to highlight a club's
Trophy Cabinet and show to the world the achievements of the team throughout its history. For instance, before embarking on this project, I for one had no idea that Aston Villa had won the
Football League War Cup in 1944. This was a cup competition devised in
England during the
Second World War to keep the population entertained due to the cancellation of the Football League programme for the duration of the war. Air raids were a constant threat whilst these games were being played!
