Stoke City. Retrieved 7 May 2019. <q>The story goes that in 1863, former pupils of the Charterhouse School formed a Football Club whilst working as apprentices at the North Staffordshire Railway in Stoke. Little evidence still exists of any official matches taking place, even though at that time some form of soccer may have already existed in the area as the headmaster of Stoke St Peter's School, J. Thomas, was an active sportsman and secretary of the local Victoria Athletic Club. Five years following the Club's official formation, a report in The Field magazine of September 1868, it was stated a new Association Football Club had been registered in Stoke-on-Trent ...and its founder member was ex-Charterhouse School pupil Henry Almond. Evidence proves that Almond had played for the Club during the five years prior to 1868. In terms of official records, though, the first game played by Almond's team, known as Stoke Ramblers and consisting largely of railway employees, was in October 1868. The historic match, against an EW May XV, ended in a 1–1 draw and was played at the Victoria Cricket Club ground, near to Lonsdale Street and Church Street. Almond, the skipper, scored the first-ever goal by a Stoke player, although he was soon to leave the Club and the area to pursue his career as a civil engineer.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=unknown&rft.jtitle=Stoke+City&rft.atitle=1863%E2%80%931888+In+the+Beginning&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stokecityfc.com%2Fother%2Fin-the-beginning-1863-1888%2F&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AStoke+City+F.C." class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-Landmarks-2">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Landmarks_2-0">a</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Landmarks_2-1">b</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222" /><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.stokecityfc.com/club/history/landmarks">"Landmarks"</a>.
