On 14 October 1873, future FIFA President and World Cup founder Jules Rimet was born in the French village of Theuley–les–Lavoncourt.A lawyer by training, Rimet first got involved with football in 1897 when, at the age of 24, he founded a sports club on the outskirts of Paris and called it Red Star. Despite not being a footballer himself, he chose football as one of the sports to be played at the club.After serving in World War I and winning the Croix de Guerre, Rimet became the first president of France’s new football association, the Fédération Française de Football (FFF), in 1919. Two years later, he became the president of FIFA. At the time, FIFA had only a dozen members. By the time he retired in 1954, that number had grown to 85.It was during his time at FIFA that he pushed his idea for an international tournament that became the World Cup. In recognition, FIFA named the first trophy after him.He died in 1956, two days after his 83rd birthday.

On 12 October 1916, two groups of college students in Mexico City joined forces to create Club América. It has since become one of Mexico’s most successful clubs.Students from Colegio Mascarones and Colegio Marista De La Perpetua had earlier formed two separate football clubs by the names of Récord and Colón. But on 12 October––Columbus Day––they decided to merge. Pedro Quintanilla, one of the players, suggested the name Club América in honor of the founding date and the team soon adopted a badge that had the initials framing an outline of the Americas.América enjoyed a successful period through the 1920s, winning four consecutive regional league titles from 1925 to 1928. Their fortunes turned soon after, however, and they didn’t win any national silverware until the 1953–54 Copa México. The late ’50s heralded a return to their winning ways and the club now boasts a total of 12 Mexican top flight titles (most recently the 2014 Apertura) and 5 Copas México. They have also enjoyed international success, winning 5 CONCACAF Champions’ Cups (1978, 1987, 1991, 1993, 2006).

On 11 October 2006, Croatia defeated England 2–0 in a Euro 2008 qualifier due in part to a freakish English own goal.Played before a crowd of 38,000 at Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb, it was the third match of the campaign for both sides, with neither yet conceding a goal. Spurs goalkeeper Paul Robinson was in goal for England, following his strong performance at the 2006 World Cup in which he kept clean sheets in 4 of the 5 matches England played.The two sides battled to a scoreless stalemate in the first half, with Robinson making a trio of key stops to deny Eduardo, Niko Kranjčar, and Mladen Petric. But Eduardo finally beat Robinson with a 61st–minute header to put Croatia up 1–0. Disaster for England followed shortly afterward.In the 69th minute, midfielder Gary Neville sent a pass back to Robinson. As the ball rolled tamely toward him, the keeper stepped up to launch it up the pitch. But just as he swung his leg, the ball hit a divot and bounced over Robinson’s foot. As Robinson tried to turn, the ball continued rolling, right into the goal.Croatia went on to win the match 2–0, on their way toward topping the qualifying group. England finished third, one point behind second–place Russia and one spot too low to qualify. Robinson went into international exile, going for over two years until his next England call–up, and retired from the national team in 2010.

On 9 October 1875, a crowd of 12,000 people gathered at Glasgow’s Hampden Park to see Queen’s Park FC defeat English side Wanderers FC 5–0. Apart from the impressive scoreline, the match is notable for being the first known one at which programs were sold to the attendees.The program for that match consisted of a single sheet listing the date, location, and line–ups for both sides (including C.W. Alcock, the founder of the FA Cup, at center half for Wanderers). It also included an admonition to the crowd: "Please do not strain the ropes." Since then, programs have expanded to multi–page, professionally printed booklets. They have also become an industry unto themselves, with a vigorous collection market. Early versions fetching premium prices at auctions, as do programs from eventful matches, such as World Cup Finals.The highest recorded price for a program is £21,850, paid at a May 2006 auction for a single–sheet copy of the program from the 1889 FA Cup Final between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Preston North End.

On 8 October 1997, Major League Soccer welcomed its newest club, the Chicago Fire. The announcement was made on the 126th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, one of the worst US disasters of the 19th century.MLS had begun play in 1996 with 10 teams and decided in 1997 to add two more for the 1998 season, awarding franchises to Chicago and Miami. The announcement on 8 October revealed the new name of the Chicago team, chosen to reflect the importance of the 1871 fire in the city’s history.Chicago were instantly successful. Guided by head coach Bob Bradley, captain Piotr Nowak, and MLS Defender of the Year Luboš Kubík, they won both the MLS Cup and the US Open Cup in their first season. They have maintained that success over the years, returning to the MLS Cup Final in 2000 and 2003––finishing as runners–up both times––and winning the US Open Cup three more times (in 2000, 2003, and 2006). In 2009, they advanced to the Final of the North American SuperLiga tournament, losing on penalties to UANL Tigres.
