The Corinthians v Nomads First Time?

On this day (29 April) in 1952 the earliest known use of the name Nomads for the Manchester Corinthians’ second team occurred. Years later founding manager Percy Ashley would say the Nomads was founded in 1957 (and many repeat this) but he had established a second team way back in 1949. They originally went under a different name (you can find out all about this in my new book) but occasionally he used the name Nomads during the early 1950s too! You can find out more on the clubs’ various second teams and names, plus the rest of the Corinthians’ history (the facts not the fiction!) in my new book. Manchester Corinthians: The Authorised History. It is a must for anyone interested in Manchester or women’s football and consists of 356 pages.
