Do you know who England's first foreign opponent was? Football fan Paul Yarden does.

London-born, Israel-based Mr Yarden, 50, has set up Thfc6061sportstats.com, which features a range of football facts and stats from across the world, including a section on Israeli football. "I've been interested in football for as long as I can remember and began keeping records of Spurs from a young age," he said. "Over the years, my interest expanded. I found it difficult to find a site which dealt with all aspects of football in a single site."

His creation is receiving around 500 hits per day but he is confident this will increase as the football season progresses.

Mr Yarden set up the site as a hobby but may focus on it full-time.
