1882- Corinthians FC formed by N. Lane Jackson, assistant secretary of the Football Association, who was alarmed by the way in which English football was falling behind the Scottish game .The Corinthians original constitution stated that the club play no competitive matches, only friendlies.
Between 1883 and 1890, 52 of the 88 caps awarded against Scotland went to Corinthian players.
1883- EasterTour- having played 15 matches in their debut season, Corinthian FC embarked on their first ever tour. It was an ambitious undertaking, playing 4 matches in 4 days against northern clubs who were undoubtedly 'professional'. Accrington beat Corinth 4-3 before the tourists secured 2-0 victories over both Church and Bootle before losing 5-4 at Stoke.
