Best Answer

The expression "Back to Square One" originates from early BBC Radio coverage of football (Soccer). The listings magazine "Radio Times" published a grid of the football field with numbered squares, and while a commentary on the play was going on, another voice would say in which numbered square the action was taking place. Square One was in front of the goal, so that when the ball was passed back to the goalkeeper to be played out again, it was "Back to Square One."
