The evolution of Football
In December I was asked to write a paper for the federation’s magazine about the evolution of the English
sport of Table Football. This month, I look back even further: at the evolution of “football” (as opposed to
table football) and I talk with Mr Stuart James from Sheffield FC – the oldest football club in the world…
Mr James – A warm welcome to IF
magazine. Please tell us how and when
Sheffield FC were founded ?
We were founded way back in 1857,
on October 24th to be exact, although
there are some reports that suggest
it could have actually been two
years earlier – sadly we don’t have
documentary evidence to support this
theory. “The Club” (nickname) was
formed when two Sheffield gentlemen,
Nathaniel Creswick and William Prest,
decided it would be good to use the
chaotic “sport” of “foot-ball” as a
close-season fitness regime in the
winter for cricketers. Prior to this date,
foot-ball was a bit of a mob sport –
played by the masses with no rules
whatsoever – so we decided to invent
the first ever foot-ball Rules.
What is the history of football before
1855 then.. was the mob game actually
invented in Sheffield too ?
No.. Mob football has a vague origin
– with the main consensus believing
that it was brought over by the Romans
(a game called “Harpastum”) – whilst
others go even further back with
origins in Ancient China.. and some in
Ancient Greece. It is still played to this
day in England! The best known is the
‘Royal Shrovetide’ game in Ashbourne
(a mere thirty miles from Sheffield FC),
which has been an annual event since
the 12th Century. It is a bit of a “pushand-shove” game, with unlimited
numbers (up to a few hundred on each
side!). The fact it was (and still is) so
unruly, means there have sadly been
countless injuries (and even fatalities),
so Sheffield’s “gentlemen” sanitised
the game to what we see today.
Stuart, the mob sport you describe
sounds a bit like last year’s English
Table Football’s “National League” ( i
joke of course ). So, since the first set
of rules were drafted by Sheffield FC,
what are the key changes to the Rules
& Regulations when compared to the
modern game of professional football –
played today at, say the 2010 World Cup
in South Africa ?
MARCH 2012
Stuart James
To be honest, here have been plenty of
changes. Sheffield FC were the ones
who invented a lot of the rules that
we take for granted today, e.g. corner
kick, throw in and free-kicks. We
even invented the header! Obviously,
modifications to the Offside Law, backpasses and the current speed of the
game have made the modern game
almost unrecognisable from that played
in the 1850s.
So what is your personal view on new
FIFA proposals – such as goal-line
technology ?
It needs to be introduced as soon as
possible! There have been far too many
issues with this recently, and with so
much money at stake at the higher
levels of the game, the technology is
there and should be used. Football is a
sport that has evolved over many years
and, for example, there was a time
when just string was used as a cross
bar! So Sheffield FC decided there were
contentious issues, similar to the ones
we face today, and introduced a solid
crossbar. And there’s nothing to stop
anyone adding goal-line technology to
the laws of the game too. The biggest
I n t e r n at i o n a l F l i c k N ° 3
argument though is how far down the
footballing pyramid could you go with
it ?
Once upon a time a linesman’s flag
was enough to signal the referee’s
attention, but now we have earpieces
and a buzzer in the flag’s handle (that
technology is available all the way down
to Sheffield FC’s semi-professional level
– and even our youth teams!). If FIFA
are serious enough about goal-line
technology, then maybe they should be
able to subsidise it to a similar degree..
So how did you get involved with
Sheffield FC ?
Literally being born half-a-mile away
from the birthplace of modern football,
I feel that the sport in all its forms “runs
through my veins” – as anyone who
has ever met me will attest to. That’s
why I got involved with The Club.
Does The Club have any special
responsibilities as the world’s oldest
club ?
We support the game on many different
levels. Along with the first team (which
is in the promotion play-off zone in
PAGE 11
Stories
the English eighth level), we have so
many different things going on! Our
ladies team has risen, from where the
men’s team is now, to be competing
in the FA Women’s Premier League –
alongside teams such as Manchester
City, Blackburn Rovers and Leicester
City. Our Futsal team have won the
FA Premier League Northern Division
three seasons in a row, and reached
the National Finals for the past five
seasons. We have teams ranging from
Under-8s, all the way up to Over-35s (a
team that includes the legendary Chris
Waddle!), plus a disability squad – and
we have done missionary work all over
the world (including India and Africa
– where we launched the “Boots for
Africa” campaign in 2010).
How do you think today’s football
compares to the sport of table football ?
Personally, I always felt frustrated
playing table football. I admit that was
because I wasn’t ever any good at it! I
usually tried to rush things – rather than
take a rational approach – as I would
if playing football. So, that is where it
differed for me. However, I think it’s a
by Simon Jackson
bit like comparing ‘chess’ to ‘checkers’
(if you know those two games?). What
I’m trying to say is that it a similar
idea, with similar goals, however with
completely different approaches. I think
that Table football needs to be played
in a more “calm and composed”
manner than football – because if you
lose control in table football, you will
probably lose the game? Whereas in
football, you can get away with being
a little more “hot-headed” (aggressive)
and still sometimes manage to win.
What about starting a Sheffield FC table
football squad ?
Well we have learned about the new
‘Sheffield Table Football Club’ formed
last year, so yes we are presently trying to
get some of our Sheffield FC supporters
to take-up the “flick-to-kick” game as
well. With a bit of supporters interest,
you never know – we might have a
Sheffield FC table football section too
one day ?
How can our IF readers learn more
about the history of football ?

Kaisermühlen. There are 7 teams playing in the
league. Unfortunately there is only 1 league
existing.
1 day events:
Having a lack of young players in austria we
did play the U15 and U12 championship at
the game festival 2011 in vienna. Interested
players have the chance to learn the game
teached by experienced people from the
association. If they are interested they can take
the chance to play at the official championship
of the association. The big favourite was
Marios Strommer (TFC Wiener Neustadt), who
won both events, but there were some very
talented players we hope to see in one of the
clubs again. In total there played more than 30
children in both events.
The national cup for individuals (EÖTV Cup)
and teams (Österreich Pokal) were played
traditionally in january. Alexander Haas took
the individual cup versus Christian Blümel
in the final. He is the first qualified austrian
player for the WC 2012.
TSC Royal 78 Kaisermühlen took the team title
against TFC Mattersburg in the final, which
was a main sensation, winning the Ö-Pokal
after 11 Years again.
The events of the veteran’s championship, U19
championship and youth cup will be played till
29th of april.
The season 2011 -2012 is coming to an end
in austria.
Our national competitions are splitted in 1 day
events and are running over the entire season.
Most of the events are played in schools,
seminar- or club rooms.
Events running over the enrire season :
National League Individual (Bundesliga)
The national league (1st and 2nd Division)
is played on 5 days. It consists of each 10
players who play twice against each other, on
promotion and relegation system
Leader is Alexander Haas (TSC Royal 78
Kaisermühlen) at the moment, followed by
Thorsten Korzil (TSG Rain 1970) and Erich
Hinkelmann (TFC Wiener Neustadt) after 3
days.
National League Team (Österreich Liga):
The national team league is played over
the whole season as well. The competition
is played in league system followed by a
playoff between the 4 best ranked teams.
The league is played on 2 days, after the first
day TFC Mattersburg is leading, followed
by TFC Wiener Neustadt and TSC Royal 78
MARCH 2012
The association has clubs in 3 of 9 Austrian
regions currently. At the moment we have
5 active clubs but the board of the austrian
association is hardly working to get more
clubs in the next 2 years. There for the last
board started the project “ASKÖ”. ASKÖ is
one of the 3 biggest “roof sports associations”
in Austria. They have many different kinds of
sports divided in different sections.
TSC Royal 78 Kaisermühlen started as first to
become member of the ASKÖ Vienna and was
added to the soccer’s section. TFC Mattersburg
followed to become member of the ASKÖ
Burgenland. Now the austrian association
became member too. The goal for the future
is to found our own section of tablesoccer
ithin ASKÖ, which will bring the austrian table
soccer some major advantages. One of the
main reasons to enter ASKÖ is the cooperation
with the youth sections of local soccer clubs.
The board of the austrian association (EÖTV) is
currently working on it, to learn contact with
soccer clubs.
Another big advantage of the cooperation are:
event material like sound system, speakers
podium, Little Buses for travel, flags, etc. ,
I n t e r n at i o n a l F l i c k N ° 3
can be rented for a really low price, as well
as purchase of cups and medals and many
other things, so we can improve the level of
organization of our national events in future.
Additionally to that the board of the Austrian
association is preparing a leaflet with the
German (DSTFB) and Swiss (SSTV) associations
for the roll-out of subbuteo material in austria,
germany and switzerland. We try to promote
the material in cooperation between the three
associations.
The board of the EÖTV created some additional
promotion material for our association. The
board created 2 types of flyers depending on
the gender of the interested person. We want
to try to promote especially the lady’s section by
creating an own flyer for them, because we see
the big need to act in the ladies category too.
Out of the situation that SPORT tablefootball
is a very small movement in austria, the media
coverage isn’t existing. The clubs particullary
manage to be mentioned in some regional
newspapers, but the big media coverage is
only existing when there are events like the
Champions League or World Cup taking place
in Austria. Coming up with more success
in this corner, we will set priority too for for
media coverage. The EÖTV board and the
support from ASKÖ, as well a EÖTV Press
release (Presseinfo has been preprared) , we
seek for better Media coverage for our events
inside the biggest newspapers and medias in
Austria.
Main promotion is only done once every year
in a big event. There is the yearly game festival
in vienna (there are more regional game fairs
around austria) where more than 40.000
parents and kids visit, and try and learn all
different kind of games. More isn’t possible
with the given resources of the EÖTV for now.
2013 is a very important year for the austrian
association : 40th anniversary. The board
wants to make a big festival and where
hopefully many old and new players will have
a “meet and greet”. Hopefully we will then
see the started projects take form and results
of new clubs. The positive development can
help, if Subbuteo will be in the shops as soon
as possible. A main issue is to guarantee the
financial survival of the EÖTV and its clubs.
Fund rasing and sponsors are on the issue as
well. Last point of this report is the information
collection to create a tablefootball referees
commission, which has the target to have
neutral referees at big events and international
matches. This is necessary to ensure that big
matches have neutral decisions. Contacting
to football referees in pension (retirement

begun. This will not be an easy task to handle,
but we are positiv.
United States of America (by
Massimo Conturso)
The season in the US is slowly coming out
from the inevitable break that Winter brings
upon Subbuteo clubs every year. Tournaments
and meetings have been already hosted in the
Midwest, and others are in program in Idaho,
California and Connecticut. The season will
then culminate in the National Championships
in Maryland on June 9th and 10th, where the
local title holders will be called to defend their
crowns.
Portugal (by Miguel Castro)
The sport in Portugal was in a deep coma
for several years due to the fact that players
couldn’t buy any material, after the collapse
of Subbuteo. We have lost lots of players, and
the main problem was to promote the sport
among the youth.
Some players decided to start representing
clubs from other countries. That decision
was important to increase their playing level
and play in international competitions. Vasco
Guimarães, Sérgio Loureiro, Rúben Português,
Nuno Noronha, Sérgio Ramos, Ricardo Pavão,
Jaime Silva and Jorge Silva are some of the
examples.
The most resistant club in Portugal is Orfeão
da Foz do Douro http://orfeaosubbuteo.
blogs.sapo.pt/ in Porto. They have a fixed
group of players that have been playing
together for a long time. Also in Porto, Grupo
Desportivo Dias Ferreira http://gddferreira.

back to competition in a more regular basis.

2nd and 3rd of June the XVI Grand Prix of
Portugal (in Sassoeiros – Lisbon area) http://

Visit our web site WWW.APSUBBUTEO.PT.
Comparing the number of players that we have
playing today (around 110) and the players
that were playing the competions 4 years ago
(around 40), we can conclude that the sports
in Portugal has recovered from the deep coma
and it is now in the intensive care unit.

Japan (by Kenzo Koi)
On March 18th,the first FISTF Open
tournament was held in Yokohama where is
the famous city of Final match in FIFA World
Cup 2002 Korea/Japan.
Japan has been lack of history of Subbuteo
and Sports Table Football. Subbuteo sets have
been sold in the past. But never been popular
among people in Japan.
We have lots of regular activity (2 different
competitions per month) and more players
and clubs are organizing competions.
The club is based on a Secondary School
and most of the new players are playing
thanks to the efforts of José Santos. The
Clube de Futebol de Sassoeiros http://
Besides the players that are representing
international clubs, this year was the first time
in 4 years’ time that some Portuguese players
joined an international Open. The players
of Clube de Futebol de Sassoeiros, André
Fernandes, Manuel Santos, Miguel Castro and
the U15 Ricardo José went to Madrid to play
the International Open. We hope that this will
be an important step to have more players
playing international tournaments.
The computer games and Nintendo’s and
Playstation’s are nowadays some of great
challengers of our sport. Nowadays it is
possible to buy sports material via the internet,
and that has been a great help to have access
to professional material. We ask FISFT to
regulate the Goalkeepers, which in our opinion
should be standard figures to all players.
I n t e r n at i o n a l F l i c k N ° 3
There are some reasons.
• Football was not major sports when the
Subbuteo sets sold.
• House of Japanese is not wide to set table
for Subbuteo.
And main reason is past enthusiasts were
isolated. They have never reached to the aria
of Subbuteo heaven. People in Subbuteo
heaven says “I play Subbuteo because I like
playing...”
Nihon Ohajiki Soccer Kyokai Subbuteo Japan
