Gas Masks for Goal Posts: Football in Britain During the Second World War
Anton Rippon
When Britain declared war on Germany in September 1939, football came to an abrupt halt. Large crowds were banned, stadiums were given over to military use, most players joined up. This book captures the atmosphere of the time and tells the story of a unique period in football's history.
