I nipped into the archives and discovered these must-see pictures showing Notts County's proud history - and these are some of my favourites

Notts County has a very long and proud history.

Founded in 1862, Notts County are the oldest professional football club in the world. They first competed in the FA Cup in 1877 and in 1888 became one of the twelve founding members of the Football League.

To celebrate that proud history we took to our archives to bring you these must-see pics from a bygone era of the world.

The images include a trip to Woolwich Arsenal in 1905 and Clapton Orient in 1921 as well as an FA Cup tie with Plymouth in 1923.

We also see how Meadow Lane looked in 1927 and a match at Crystal Palace in 1936.
