Quotes by Daniel J. Hayes (?)

“It must be remembered that prior to 1888 when the first professional football club was formed, the landscape was entirely amateur, clubs came and went with alarming frequency and using 1881 is a bit like claiming an ancestor's birth date as your own. You may not be the same person, but one would not exist without the other.”
