If I'm not mistaken, a lot of clubs back then were iffy about adding football and started out as cycling clubs or rugby clubs first. I'm trying to find where the information is located outside of the book I read

EDIT: [Here is the book I learned about this in] (http://www.amazon.com/Ball-Round-Global-History-Soccer-ebook/dp/B0011UGMHI/ref=sr_1_15?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1395847980&sr=1-15&keywords=soccer+books)

My list would have to include

The Ball is Round this is an amazing history of the sport. It is a very big book but very good.

The Numbers Game This has been one of my favorite soccer reads and I am surprised at how little people talk about it.

This love is not for cowards Truly an amazing story.

Amung the Thugs a fun and alarming tale of holgainism. Something I am very glad has not developed around the sport in the USA.

also if your not already receiving them you should subscribe to
Howler Magazine and
Eight by Eight


I hope this list gets you started. I have more on my list but have not got around to them.
