Football club colours

Gilbert Oswald Smith, better known as G. O. Smith was a nineteenth-century amateur footballer often referred to as "the first great centre forward". Smith played most of his career for the Corinthians, then the best-known amateur football club in Britain. Smith's scoring record for the club (132 goals in 137 matches) remains one of the best strike rates in the history of the game. Smith captained the England team on at least 13 between 1896 and 1901, winning at least eight games, possibly as many as ten, and drawing two. He is considered the first real football superstar and the first one to achieve wide recognition among several generations.
