The name 'Soccer'
 
Hi Guys !

The original former name of 'soccer' was Association Football. The name 'Soccer' was coined in England by Charles Wreford Brown in 1863. The 3rd, 4th and 5th letters of Association plus the suffix 'cer' gave the word 'Soccer'.
Thanks.

Solid work Pieder.

Perhaps you can work on getting a hyperlink associated with your sig.
