On the 8th. September 1888 the first football league games ever played took place. The results were :
Everton 2 Accrington 1( at Anfield, home of Everton)
Aston Villa 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers1
Preston North End 5 Burnley 2
Stoke 0 West Bromwich Albion 2
Bolton Wanderers 3 Derby County 6
Blackburn Rovers v Notts. County was played a week later.
Gresham Cox of Aston Villa scored the first ever league goal.
Preston North End were crowned champions, and were unbeaten for all 22 games.
I wonder what it was like at the begining of it all.
