The greater game : a history of football in World War I

The Greater Game is a major exhibition (December 2014–September 2015) by the National Football Museum exploring the history of English football in the First World War.

It brings together previously unseen material from private and public collections to explore the impact of the war on clubs, players and communities.

Football's wartime story, both at home and abroad, offers a fascinating and moving insight into the impact of the First World War on our national game.

This publication to accompany the exhibition features illustrated highlights together with specially commissioned articles by leading writers and historians.
