phenomenon; however it is only in the last few years that they
have received the attention they deserve. Should a collector

categories of badges to choose from. Areas of interest include:
Premiership football clubs, Championship teams, Division One,
Division Two, FA Stewards badges, referees badges, Football
Association badges (County FA's etc). Alternatively, you may
choose to collect Welsh or Scottish enamel badges.

Another option is that of Non-league clubs, these enamel badges
can be socially and historically interesting they often highlight
connections between sport and local industry. Many older badges
can now fetch a premium price while later additions remain
affordable. Football is a team sport that is recognised around
the world. While football may appear to have a universal meaning
the term has been applied to a number of different, but related
team competitions. Throughout the English speaking world a
friendly rivalry exists due to different kinds of football
played.

Association football or soccer as it is also known is the most
common and widely played form of the game. However,
North America is renowned for American football which resembles
another form of the game that is called rugby. Rugby football is
played in many countries but its associations are strongest in
the United Kingdom, Europe, New Zealand and Australia. Rugby
football is divided into two categories or codes Rugby Union and
Rugby League.To complicate things further the term football is
also applied to Australian Rules and Gaelic football.
