Has anyone seen this programme? It’s a drama series about the early days of football. When it starts, the amateur upper-class southern sides are dominant in the FA Cup. It charts the rise of northern working class teams, who effectively introduced professionalism to the game.
Written by Julian Fellowes, it feels a bit like Downton Abbey meets Match of the Day, but it does give a good picture of what the game must have been like nearly 150 years ago. It is not completely factually accurate but tells an interesting story.
If you’ve got a Netflix subscription, I suggest you give it a try.
