Αναρωτιόμουν από πού έχει πάρει το όνομά της η Corinthians, η γνωστή Βραζιλιάνικη ομάδα... Και βρήκα ότι δημιουργήθηκε από κατσαπλιάδες που γούσταραν την Corinthian F.C. από την Αγγλία, που τότε ήταν ομάδα-φαινόμενο που
"Within twenty years the Corinthians were to become the greatest and most attractive team that football had then known. With an intelligent nonchalance and in their tailored shirts and well-cut shorts that brought a quality and culture to the game"
Corinthian FC were famed, above all, for their ethos of “sportsmanship, fair play, [and] playing for the love of the game
‘Corinthian Spirit’, still understood as the highest standard of sportsmanship in any sport, is thought to have been coined in their honour. This spirit was famously summed up in their attitude to penalties; “As far as they were concerned, a gentleman would never commit a deliberate foul on an opponent. So, if a penalty was awarded against the Corinthians, their goalkeeper would stand aside, lean languidly on the goalpost and watch the ball being kicked into his own net. If the Corinthians themselves won a penalty, their captain took a short run-up and gave the ball a jolly good whack, chipping it over the crossbar
Η Ρεάλ Μαδρίτης φοράει λευκά προς τιμήν αυτής της ομάδας.
Η ομάδα αυτή συγχωνεύθηκε με την υπάρχουσα Casuals F.C., και εγένετο Corinthian - Casuals F.C.!
