1923: Life in Football 100 Years Ago takes a deep dive into the matches, personalities and events that lit up the game a century ago. What they ate, drank and how they spent their leisure time. Based on exhaustive archival research, it's also a social history that reveals how fans and footballers lived their day to day lives and how they were affected by the year's happenings.
Who the top clubs and players were and what type of tactics they used. How players trained and what they earned. What kit and boots they wore and how they prepared and travelled to games, often alongside the fans.
The book explores why mining communities produced so many of the year's top footballers, and how an amateur playing army captain made an unlikely debut for the full England side. From the infamous White Horse Cup Final and the shocking murder of footballer Tommy Ball, to the painful legacy of World War
