We do not know when exactly a few of the men of Delabole came together to form a football team. In 1928, the captain was to say the the Slaters had been playing for thirty years. Consequently, we may easily suppose that the team had already begun by 1900. At that time, the greatly-loved Alexanda, Duchess of Cornwall, was still giving here name to many a street, building, and institution, and Bob Fitzsimmons, Cornwall's very own world heavyweight champion, was still alive. At a school in Taunton, a boy called Jack Bucknall was considering a vocation as a clergyman. In Delabole itself, the owners of the quarry were considering the building of more houses to accommodate the workforce.
