Association Football has been called soccer in Britain for well over a hundred years – an abbreviation of ‘Association’ to distinguish it from Rugby and the Americans took it up – they didn’t invent it -. for similar reasons). If you check out the football books and magazibes in the 1950s and 60s, many, maybe most, had soccer in the title. Try books by Tommy Docherty, Bobby Charlton, Tommy Lawton (My Twenty Years in Soccer, published 1955). Why are so many alleged fans so ignorant of this?
@metalflames4 oh shut up please. are you quite the idiot, sir? clearly these lads don’t care about stupid terminology as much as your sorry ass youtube douche bag. you’re bashing on those lads for having their pads say soccer schools and then you say people from england call it football. those lads are from england, so clearly they call it soccer as well.
why does it say SOCCER schools. this is an english club and people from england call it football not soccer
boooooooo
@metalflames4 i think because of the owner of the club …
i wish i have that opportunity
I remember when i was chosen for this. Best feeling ever !
