 | Football has become so popular with all classes of the community that the Crystal Palace authorities were well advised in laying out a part of the fine gardens at Sydenham as a football ground. |
 | Of Rugby football there is also a wealth of talent to chose from for those who like to see football where the hand has far more to do than the foot in its transit from one part of the field to another. |
| Victorian Football League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (955 words) |
 | The Victorian Football League, formerly known as the Victorian Football Association (VFA), was the first Australian rules football league, formed in 1877. |
 | It should not be confused with the national Australian Football League, which was a breakaway competition originally known as the Victorian Football League (VFL) until 1990 and sometimes still referred to as the VFL/AFL. |
 | The VFA renamed itself the Victorian Football League in 1995, after admitting North Ballarat and Traralgon to the competition. |
