About this Event

Speaker: Andy Mitchell, Sports Historian

This year marks 200 years since the Foot-Ball Club kicked off in Edinburgh, the world’s first known organisation dedicated to football. It was founded in December 1824 by John Hope, whose meticulous records of the club’s activities are preserved in the National Records of Scotland (NRS) among his extensive personal archive. This talk will celebrate the club’s bicentenary by exploring its origins, its members and its legacy, placing it firmly in the pantheon of association football heritage.

This talk is a hybrid event. For those attending in-person a small display of original records will be on show from John Hope’s archive.

There will be time for questions at the end.
