Every football club on earth exists because of this island. 🇬🇧

Kings banned it. The richest schools in England claimed it. They wrote the rules and locked the gates.

Then the working class stole it back.

In 1850, Parliament passed the Factory Act. Work stopped at two on a Saturday. Working men had free time. And they chose football.

Churches formed clubs to keep men out of pubs: Aston Villa, Bolton, Everton.

Factories formed teams from their own workers: West Ham from the Thames Ironworks, Arsenal from a munitions factory.

The FA Cup Final. Blackburn Olympic: weavers, spinners, a plumber. They beat the Old Etonians 2-1. No private school team ever reached the final again.

Then British workers carried it everywhere they went ⚽🌍

Scottish miners in Spain founded its oldest club. A Nottingham lace trader gave Juventus their black and white stripes.
A butcher's son from the same city founded AC Milan. British railway workers in Uruguay named their team after Stephenson's Rocket.
Cornish miners founded Mexico's first football club. A schoolteacher from Kent taught the game to his students in Argentina. His school produced Lionel Messi.
A boy from Southampton brought two footballs to Brazil. They call him the father of Brazilian football.
Real Madrid are said to wear white because of an English amateur team.

From Lancashire cotton mills to every continent on earth.

Three and a half billion people watch football. The most popular sport ever created. And it was created here. By the British people.

Every Saturday, three o'clock. That kickoff time exists because of the Factory Act of 1850. The moment working men were given an afternoon off.

They chose football. And the world followed.

No owners. No sponsors. Just supporters.

I’ll never not watch this video. It’ll never not make me cry.

It’s really powerful is this video. Let me tell you why.

The hurt I feel through watching this video, hearing of life that didn’t need to end.

Many of us have been Bryn in this video, and unfairly lost a friend

Check on your friends and family.
