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.

Fathers, Sons and Football

Colin Shindler

Fathers, Sons and Football

This is the story of the Summerbee family which has produced three successive generations have played professional football - George, the unsuccessful journeyman at Preston North End; Mike, who was one of the stars of the glorious Manchester City of the 1960s and 1970s; and, more recently Nicky, who has played at the top level for City and Sunderland. In this updated edition, the author, a leading TV writer and producer, has given us a moving and funny account of the ups and downs of live in professional footballer and how it impacts on the lives of their families. Both frank and amusing, it throws a bit of light on the dysfunctional nature of many involved in the competitive world of professional football.
