In fact, some would say that the FA (though that should be EFA) and the SFA have about as much to do with football as tiddlywinkers have to do with shot-putting.

While not wanting to get into a "dich" with Colin Wilson on organised football competition originality (Letters, 20 January), I would insist against his pernickety documentary approach to such matters. Because a committee of people got together in a freemasonry hall in the mid-19th century doesn't necessarily mean they were responsible for starting up football as we know it today.
