History
The Middlesex County League was founded in 1890 by a group of football enthusiasts in Middlesex. The inaugural season consisted of 12 teams, and the first champions were Hendon. The league has grown steadily over the years, and now consists of over 200 teams.
The Middlesex County League has produced a number of professional footballers, including Geoff Hurst, Jimmy Greaves, and Bobby Moore. The league has also been used as a stepping stone for many young players who have gone on to play in the Premier League and other top leagues around the world.
