Football
and the First World War
I am currently writing a book on Football and the
First World War based on the article of the same name on this website.
I am very keen to contact any football fans who
have information about players who joined the army during the First World
War. Please contact me at ian.maxwell7@btinternet.com |

Wanderers FC, and Around The World In 95 Games.
