Introduction

The pages shown in the Index on the left, contain the first part of a brief history of the Essex Olympian Football League,

The information contained within these pages, whilst not going into great detail, will, I hope, act as a reference for those interested in the development of what is now the National League System Step 7 league within Essex.

As well as a narrative section describing some of the events in each season, the pages contain the League Tables and, where available,details of the League Cups.

Unfortunately Cup records and League Match Results are not readily available for many of the earlier years.

If any readers come across any errors or are able to provide me with any additional information relating to a particular season, I would be pleased to hear from you.

I am most grateful for the encouragement to carry out this venture, given to me by our Patron Charles Rand, and to our Past Secretary Ron Hurrell, from whom much of the basis for the archive details was received.
