This idiom was first heard on early

This idiom was first heard on early BBC radio soccer commentaries, and it means back to the beginning. The expression was first listed in a British magazine in 1927. Since soccer wasn't easy to describe on the radio, the field was divided into eight notional squares, so that listeners could be told where the ball was. When the game restarted after the break, it was "back to square one".
