To accompany Sheffield Theatres production of The Ladies Football Club, they and Sheffield Homes of Football have arranged a series of talks - I'll be chatting about women's football during the First world War on Saturday at 5pm at the Crucible

Loving today's documentation task. Loving it ..

Is the photo even of Spanish football?! 😆
Intrigued to why the cover photo appears to be from the 1950s..?
Something for @refbooks.bsky.social - a pre-printed postcard that Arthur Ellis had produced to help him respond to (presumably) the many enquiries he got.
This one has been used to say thanks for being congratulated on getting the 1952 FA Cup referee appointment.
Is this for a future book or a blog post. Great to see the statistical works continue to develop
Although I do like the strong George Formby vibes from centre-half William Richardson
Alas, I think we are going to find that they all have the same collective amnesia/bad memories...
Scanned a few things last week, including magazine build up to the 1935 FA Cup.
Personal favourite is the photo of George Shaw (WBA) who 'can knit a pull-over a good deal better than most women' with his wife and their wee baby in the tub.
Very interesting. Only father/son to referee at the world cup?
What would Sir Jim Ratcliffe make of all this I wonder? (From NFM Collection)
Team America got it right re Pearl Harbour youtu.be/SsPrQgTO0HU?...
Pearl Harbour was also pretty poor at multiple levels. See also the third Pirates of the Caribbean - left at the intermission - still one of my best decisions!!
Inception would be on my list - I really needed resolution after the heavy mental exercise involved in following the proceeding couple of hours...
Train delay repay also allows you to flex the academic credentials...
It really hits how when all your bills come addressed to Dr Sian...
Congrats Dr Sian!
😆
Nice, at least they resisted the temptation for a modern (60s) art version
As a Yorkshireman, I endorse this purchase as fiscal good value. Did it have a nice cover?
Yes, definitely getting the impression that opportunities for non-european refs at the WC decisively shifts from 1970 onwards. Interesting to see the patterns change in how many officials selected, how some are linesmen only at times, and changing proportions of British officials
Thanks for this - lovely photo. If I have my research right, he was the first South American match official to be involved in the final since 1930 (as a linesman)
When British referees ruled the world (cup). Or none of the British teams got far enough in the tournament to get in their way...
By all means. Happy to help 🙂
I have a copy of the programme if you'd like images of it?
Page from the mens 1934 FIFA World Cup programme showing the Coppa Del Duce, the trophy that fascist dictator Benito Mussolini commissioned for the winners of the tournament.
Another page from the 1934 World Cup programme - this time showing trophies and awards. It includes the Coppa Del Duce, commissioned by dictator Benito Mussolini as an additional prize for the winners, and much larger than the Jules Rimet trophy.(Priory Collection)
And they are aerodynamic...(Test of your 90s adverts knowledge there..)
Great cover! All the best for its launch!
