Question 734

This phrase originated from early radio commentaries of football matches by the BBC in the United Kingdom. The first live radio commentary featured a Division One match between Arsenal and Sheffield United, broadcast on January 22, 1927. A grid of a football pitch divided into eight numbered squares had been printed in the previous week's Radio Times so the commentator could describe the ball's location. The theory postulates that whenever a game was restarted from a goal kick, it would be in square one.
