The Sportsman (defunct)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sportsman is a defunct British newspaper that was first published from 1865 to 1924.
It was at the offices of The Sportsman on 20 July 1871 that the Football Association committee meeting was held which adopted a proposal to establish a knockout competition for the FA's member clubs – the FA Cup.
A new paper with the same name, now also defunct, was launched in 2006 and ran for seven months.
