Earlestown F.C. (1880)
Earlestown Football Club was an association football club from St Helens in Lancashire. History The club was founded in 1880 and it made its senior football bow in the Lancashire Senior Cup in 1881. The club's greatest successes came in the era before the game turned professional. It was a strong power in the west Lancashire area, and reached the Liverpool Senior Cup final in 1883–84, 1884–85, and 1888–89. Its first two finals were both against Everton, and a 1–0 win at Hawthorne Road in 1885 in front of over 4,000 (with 700 fans travelling on a special train), the goal coming from a scrimmage which bundled goalkeeper Lindsay over the line, saw the Cup go to Earlestown for the only time. The power of the resources available to clubs in the new Football League however was quickly demonstrated - in 1889–90, Earlestown met Everton in the semi-final, and was hammered 13–2. Earlestown was one of the founder members of the Lancashire League in 1889, having turne ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cross Pattée
A cross pattée, cross patty or cross paty, also known as a cross formy or cross formée (french: croix pattée, german: Tatzenkreuz), is a type of Christian cross with arms that are narrow at the centre, and often flared in a curve or straight line shape, to be broader at the perimeter. The form appears very early in medieval art, for example in a metalwork treasure binding given to Monza Cathedral by Queen Theodelinda (died 628), and the 8th-century lower cover of the Lindau Gospels in the Morgan Library. An early English example from the start of the age of heraldry proper (i.e. about 1200) is found in the arms of Baron Berkeley. Etymology The word ''pattée'' is a French adjective in the feminine form used in its full context as ''la croix pattée'', meaning literally "footed cross", from the noun ''patte'', meaning foot, generally that of an animal. The cross has four splayed feet, each akin to the foot, for example, of a chalice or candelabrum. In German it is cal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
