Mainly about the start of the pro game and the first proffesional players and teams back in the 19th century.

As a football romantic I enjoyed it.
Yes, saw ‘The English Game’ a while back, even the BBC missus enjoyed it. I do love football history and admit to being stuck in the past. I can reel off facts from the 1880s to the 1970s much more readily than the 1980s to the present day. The ‘Big Match Revisited’ is a case in point, I easily recognise the players despite them not having their names on their shirts much more than I recognise today’s players.
