A fascinating study of football in England during the First World War which saw the game face existential challenges as fundamental questions were asked about its place and value in English society. Contrary to many depictions, the game did not disappear with the F.A.'s ban on professionalism in 1915 but remained an important part of everyday life for millions of people though viewed through the prism of wartime conditions and values. Published in 2022.
