These things are easy enough to state, but to every one of these statements there is a basis in years of work by many people. The local football team, the Slaters, are the representatives of the spirit of Delabole, Cornwall's premier industrial village. Here is an attempt to trace the career of the Slaters in their context. We trust that the following pages will prove of interest both to local people, and to lovers of the beautiful game both near and far. This is no intensive or comprehensive history, but rather what some call horsey-duffers before a full meal, whose ingredients include the memories and records of many people, not forgetting Dr. Catherine Lorigan's remarkable book on the history of Delabole. We hope that one day there will be a substantial book about the worthy efforts and the dedicated struggles of the footballers and their supporters. But that is for the future: this is no more than a quick glance at the story so far, together with a set of footballing phrases in Cornish.
