The Football Association's Founding Fathers

Order: Reorder
Duration: 1:41
Updated: 21 Oct 2013

The Football Association has today announced that its search to find living descendants of the eight men that created the sport 150 years ago has been hugely successful, uncovering relatives in places such as Washington DC (USA), Chicago (USA), Auckland (New Zealand), Rossendale (Lancashire, UK) as well as London. A total of 16 relatives of the Founding Fathers of football will attend a special ceremony at Wembley Stadium on the 21st October where a Blue Plaque will be unveiled that pays tribute to the historical significance of their work in creating a game that is now enjoyed by billions of people around the world. The event is the start of a week of celebrations for The FA's 150th birthday, which will culminate in a Gala Dinner on the anniversary date itself this Saturday (26 October). Hailing from across England, surprisingly little was known about Ebenezer Cobb Morley, Arthur Pember, Charles William Alcock, Francis Maule Campbell, John Forster Alcock, Herbert Thomas Steward, George Twizell Wawn and James Turner -- the men that gathered to form The FA and draft the original 13 laws of association football. From that point, football has grown imeasureably and The FA now helps to support seven million people playing the game at grassroots level across the country, right the way through to the elite level. Following a four month search led by cultural historian Dr. Jane Clayton from the International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire, and with the help of the general public, living descendants for six of the founding fathers have been identified. Jane Sleight, the great-great-granddaughter of Arthur Pember, and Tom Steward, a relation of Herbert Thomas Steward, are the two relatives living furthest from where The FA was formed in 1863, hailing from Washington DC, USA, and Auckland, New Zealand, respectively. In the UK, it was discovered that the family tree of Arthur Pember also crossed with that of another figure of huge historical and cultural significance, Charles Darwin. In 1925, Pember's great-niece married Charles Galton Darwin, the grandson of Charles Darwin and thus the current Darwin dynasty is also related to one of football's Founding Fathers. A number of George Twizell Wawn's family have been located in Rossendale, Lancashire and Oxford whilst John Forster Alcock and Francis Maule Campbell have descendants living in London, Cambridge, Oxford and Peterborough. Following the research it has been discovered that the family tree of Ebenezer Cobb Morley ended upon his death in 1924 as neither he, nor his siblings, had any children. The search for information on James Turner and further descendants for the other six Founding Fathers continues with The FA and Dr. Jane Clayton investigating leads across the UK as well as in Japan, Denmark and Canada. Dr. Jane Clayton from the International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire, said: "For the search to have been so successful is incredibly pleasing as, from a historical perspective, we now know a lot more about a number of the men that created the most popular sport in the world one hundred and fifty years ago. "The research carried out to date has been extensive but the work continues in the hope of discovering more descendants across the world." Alex Horne, General Secretaty of The FA, said: "In terms of historical significance, the eight Founding Fathers of football should be placed alongside other great pioneers of this nation. The game has become a focal point of the lives of nearly every household in England since it was formed, so to now understand more about the history of these men is incredibly important. "The FA is delighted that in its 150th year we have been able to identify living descendants and honour their forefathers at what is now the home of English football, Wembley." Broadcaster Mike Read, Honorary Chairman of The British Plaque Trust, and a lifelong Bury FC fan has been in discussion with The FA about the commemoration for several months. He said: "The Founding Fathers of football helped give the world a sport which down the generations has inspired many billions. We wanted to ensure that the momentous moment was marked in the appropriate manner." To find out more about the search for living descendants of the Founding Fathers, please visit http://www.thefa.com/foundingfathers and if you have any information that can assist, please email foundingfathers@thefa.com The Founding Fathers of football are: 1. Ebenezer Cobb Morley (1831-1924) 2. Arthur Pember (1835-1886) 3. Charles William Alcock (1842-1907) 4. Francis Maule Campbell (1843-1920) 5. John Forster Alcock (1841-1910) 6. Herbert Thomas Steward (1839-1915) 7. George Twizell Wawn (1840-1914) 8. James Turner (dates unknown)

In my most secure moments I still can't believe
I'm spending these moments with you
On the ground I am walking, the air that I breathe
Are shared in these moments with you
You love for real
You show the feel
Of everything that touches you
In the songs I've been singing quite often a phrase
Comes close to the feeling of you
But I never suspected that one of those days
The wish of the song would come true
[repeat chorus]
You are of gracefulness
You are of happiness
You are what I would guess to be most like
What I've been singing of

Time for livin', groovin' on everything
Life is givin', from now on I'm taking

Too busy to stop and notice the things that are real
Embarassed to talk about all the things that I feel
It's so strange never noticed the world all around me

Top The Association, Pandora's Golden Heebie Jeebies

I have walked along the paths of dark and light
And I have seen the sunrise and I've seen the night
I've seen the calm before the storm and then the fight
And now I see the sparrows as they begin to fly
And all that's left for me to do
Is cry
I've had my view of happiness and my view of despair
I've cleaned out all the cobwebs and I've learned how to compare
I've seen all of the circles and I've had my last affair
And now I see the sparrows as they begin to fly
And all that's left for me to do
Is cry
Thinking that I was lost then finding the end to all beginnings
Gave to me the key made of lead and golden
Freeing locks, Pandora's boxes, devils are expended
And I'm finally free
And when all the tears are finally cried
And I am finally clean inside
The gentle winds will come and they will dry my mind
And I will see the sparrow that need no longer fly
And all that will be left for me to do
Is die

When you know that my whole life depends
On you (on you)
Never my love
Never my love
You say you fear I'll change my mind
And I won't require you
Never my love
Never my love
How can you think love will end

With me (with me, with me)

You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you
Perish is the word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams
That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes
That I am not gonna be the one to share what
Seems to be the life that you could
Cherish as much as I do yours
Oh I'm beginning to think that man has never found
The words that could make you want me
That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound
That could make you hear, make you see
That you are drivin' me out of my mind
Oh I could say I need you but then you'd realize
That I want you just like a thousand other guys
Who'd say they loved you With all the rest of their lies
When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands
And gaze into your eyes
Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you
And I do cherish you
And I do cherish you
Cherish is the word

Top The Association, Along Comes Mary

Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
Someone calls on me
And every now and then I spend my time in rhyme and verse
And curse those faults in me
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to give me kicks , and be my steady chick
And give me pick of memories
Or maybe rather gather tales of all the fails and tribulations
No one ever sees
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes
As who is most to blame today
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality
From where she got her name
And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch as hers
Will make them not the same
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
And when the morning of the warning's passed, the gassed
And flaccid kids are flung across the stars
The psychodramas and the traumas gone
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains
She left the night before
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies, and make them
Realize their urgent cry for sight no more
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
