Nah they were relegated last season man, along with Kano Pillars and Katsina United I think. They are in the Nigerian National League now (second tier)

Sweden has a few of these. we have Dalkurd (kurds) and a whole lot of Syrianska and Syrianska-Arameiska. the biggest Syrianska club is also based in Södertälje so they are big rivals with Assyriska. they probably don't like how Alfie used a pic of syrianska in this video

@@jimothypersson8306 Yeah the Assyrsika Syrianska rivalry is insane, since they're both Assyrian identified. That was worth a mention imo. This video was really interesting, but could be expanded upon a lot in another video, hopefully.

for a european perspective i think it would be like myself calling you a Dane or Norwegian, even though its the same part of the world you are still different :)

I think you mean SYRIAC. Syrian refers to somebody who is a Syrian national, which is not necessarily the case for most Syriacs

Lebanon also has a sectarianism problem in football, a few of the teams are affiliated to religious denominations.

nah mate the only club that was founded by a religious organization in Indonesia is Hizbul Wathan FC

Thanks for the interesting history lesson, he also missed Morocco too which I was expecting, especially with such huge fan bases. Always a joy to watch Indonesia and Morocco, the passion is off the charts and phenomenal to see.

Top 7*

surely Mexico City or Rio de Janeiro

Istanbul and Madrid are probably on there as well.

virtually ANY mega-city in countries where football is the dominant sport would be contenders for this

I think the opposite of the biggest one club cities would be more interesting. Are there any massive cities in the world with only one team? Almost all big cities have multiple clubs. The only decent ones I know in England are Leeds, Sunderland, Newcastle, Portsmouth & Southampton (and none are huge cities by global standards)

he did a very similar video a while back about players who were perfect successors of other players

@@dr3ntel680 he also did one about father-son pro footballers.

Would love to see a video on this! From my research, it looks like the 1861 Palace team stopped playing for a couple decades before the 1905 team was founded. Both were founded at the same location and with the same name tho lol, the original FA Cup co-founding Palace is definitely our club’s heritage. The problem comes, I think, in the claim that we’re the oldest club or oldest continuously running club. I don’t think we can claim that just bc of that big gap in the late 19th century. In my opinion our crest should include 1861 and 1905 on it tho. In any case I think Alfie could make a great video on this. It’s been ages since he’s done a Palace-specific video. COYP

When I first read your comment I thought you were saying Alfie is a Crystal Palace fan and I was gonna tell you that Alfie is a Hull fan. But upon reading your comment again I see you’re a Crystal Palace fan

You must be so sad and hateful.

City should join the super league

🧂🧂🧂🤣 drinking your salty tears.

Is right. Formed by the St. Domingo church on Netherfield Road. Changed name to Everton. Played originally on Priory Road, then Stanley Park, then Anfield. Was the first team to bring a major trophy back to Anfield (the Football League Trophy in 1891 in the third year of the league). The split came in 1892 when the Chairman, who was also the landlord, hiked the rent up considerably. Half the Board did not agree to pay, so found land on Mere Green and built Goodison Park and retained the name Everton, the others on the Board who stayed at Anfield founded that other club.

Liverpool was formed by members of a local Orange Lodge. The Directors and first manager were all members of the same Lodge.

@@stephenmcloughlin7718 Religion didn't come into it. THIS was the reason why half the board said sod this for a game of soldiers!: 'The split came in 1892 when the Chairman, who was also the landlord, hiked the rent up considerably. Simply proved himself to be a money-grabbing bad meff, and probably didn't expect to split the club, but rather expected to line his pockets even more...

@@Pokafalva , but the formation of the new Liverpool Club happened due to meetings at The Orange Lodge. That could be said to be a religious group. The Directors and the manager were members of the same Lodge.

@@stephenmcloughlin7718 The Masonic Order had been going for a couple of hundred years at the time. The fact that Everton used to have their meetings at The Sandon public house doesn't mean they were a pub team! The Chairman/Landlord and the board members would have been wealthy individuals and no doubt members of a Masonic Lodge. So they met at a particular venue, so what? It was not a religious venture, it was a hard-nosed decision to form a football club in the light of half the Board quitting and taking the name of 'Everton' with them to their new venue. And Chairman Houlding applied to continue with the name 'Everton' but that was refused by the football authorities. A name had to be given to Houlding's new club, hence the name Liverpool was chosen. It's very simple, and has jack-shit to do with religion.

how wrong you are biotio not one protestant played for them until 1951

@@andrewccochrane8052 Missing my point by miles. The club was born from the need of Glasgow’s Irish Catholic community so naturally its fan and player base would originate from that same pocket of society. However, the fact the club was born within one community didn’t mean it was closed to people from other backgrounds and despite early internal pressure to be an “all Catholic” Club, from its earliest days Celtic recruited players and attracted support from all walks of life. My point is that Celtic are wrongly known as a Catholic club, they are not. In contrast to this, Rangers’ links with Protestantism and unionism were developed through choice. Indeed some might argue that Rangers did not become a Protestant club but rather an anti-Catholic one. To address your comment though, Celtic's first non-Catholic signing was in fact 1890

@@taekwanlew research again

you will find most British football & Rugby clubs with 19th century roots all have very similar origin stories.

But Rangers don't have isue with pedophile scandal, and you have. Answer yourself, what is worst.

True. That will explain why both Pat Nevin and Frankie Boyle have gone on record to say they stopped attending Porkheid cos of all the IRA chanting. Very ecumenical

careful what ur saying there u mite have people believing that Clown WATProds .

So a quick look through our history shows in undeniable fact that our club has signed Catholics and that any myth or lies that our club is built on a ‘sectarian signing policy’ is exactly that, a lie and is very easily dismissed Those players include - Pat Lafferty 1886, Tom Dunbar 1891, Jay Tutty 1899, Archie Kyle 1904, Willie Kivlichan 1906, Colin Mainds 1906, Tom Murray 1907, William Brown 1912, Joe Donnachie 1914, John Jackson 1917. These are players only known openly in history, as religion was not as openly discussed as it is now, as being of the Catholic faith. However even at a glance quite a few players who were openly practicing Catholic and easily dispels the myth peddled by those with an agenda Moving on there is many more examples of players who starred for our club prior to the arrival of Maurice and these included - Laurie Blyth 1951, Don Kitchenbrand 1955, Hugh O’Neil 1976, John Spencer 1985 (Just three years before Johnstone’s arrival!) Of course since Johnston’s signing and the scrutiny of the media, introduction of social media the knowledge of players faiths is more open and discussed. In many ways the only issues and problems caused, seem to be by media and supporters of clubs outwith our own Players openly practice their faith in a Rangers jersey and it has not an issue inside Ibrox, the only people making it that way have nothing to do with the club. The recent coverage players such as Jon Daly has received only go to prove that The truth is always available and next time someone spouts rubbish about our club you can tell them how wrong they are This isn’t an apology for our culture or an attempt to distort history, it simply answers the question The history of our club is a beautiful and wonderful thing, four young lads founding one of the biggest clubs in the world for the love of football only They had a dream and now we are living it

@@geordiewishart1683 mate you can indulge in revisionism all you want. You’ve cited about a dozen players in over a century. We remember your fans burning their season tickets for the cameras back in 89. A club founded and steeped in sectarian hatred. That’s not an opinion.

A priest wanting to attract the youth to the church, doesn't sound as innocent now as it did back then.

I'm sure the priest rubbed down sore thighs after the games

Do you mean the Luther rose? The Luther seal or Luther rose is a widely recognized symbol for Lutheranism. It was the seal that was designed for Martin Luther at the behest of John Frederick of Saxony in 1530, while Luther was staying at the Coburg Fortress during the Diet of Augsburg. Lazarus Spengler, to whom Luther wrote his interpretation below, sent Luther a drawing of this seal. Luther saw it as a compendium or expression of his theology and faith, which he used to authorize his correspondence. Luther informed Philipp Melanchthon on 15 September 1530, that the Prince had personally visited him in the Coburg fortress and presented him with a signet ring, presumably displaying the seal.[2]

@@geordiewishart1683 Exactly. I found it amusing to see it on the Southampton Badge though.

That's actually a Hampshire rose, symbol of the county that Southampton is in. Well spotted though! Though I don't think there has ever been more than a token Lutheran presence in England

A lot of English clubs have a rose because its a symbol of the counties of Yorkshire (white rose) and Lancashire (red rose)

Celtic were the ones who started that stupid shit, they wanted an exclusively catholic team like Hibernian had, but couldn't find enough good catholic players. Rangers weren't exclusively protestant, they just didn't sign Irish catholic players. Celtic fans pretending Rangers are sectarian when their own name, colours, badge, songs and flags are all deeply sectarian to the core. Go found a Jewish football club in Glasgow and play against celtic, see how deeply tolerant and anti sectarian they really are lol

@@tankie9997 I never mentioned Celtic at all ya fanny

@@tankie9997 but since you did, the first no catholic Celtic signed was in 1890 So it took the rangers over 90 years to break their sectarian tradition and sign a catholic. Even if Celtic started it, rangers still never signed a catholic to 1989.

@@tankie9997 just a random quote for you as well for being a bawbag "By contrast, Celtic never had a similar policy banning players of any religion. Celtic manager Jock Stein, himself Celtic's first Protestant manager, once stated that if he was offered a Catholic player and a Protestant player, he would sign the Protestant." The fact that rangers literally took to 1989 is my point, i never mentioned Celtic at all

@@tankie9997 and ive went and googled what you said as well Rangers policy was not signing Roman Catholics, not just irish Catholics lol. If it was just irish Catholics they would have signed Scottish Catholics, English Catholics, Welsh Catholics, Italian Catholics, Spanish Catholics, French Catholics or literally any Catholics from anywhere but Ireland But they never, they didnt sign any Catholics at all (of any country) until 1989.

Yeah, the Mountain of Fire church. The late TB Joshua also had a football academy called My People FC.
