Finally a book is due to be published later this month "The Final Season" by Nigel McCrery which covers this subject in more detail.

Heroes all. RIP.

Some excellent and thought provoking reading.

An interesting book I have in my library is 'The Khaki Years' by Gerry Wolstenholme.

This tells the story of Blackpool FC during seasons 1915/6 to 1918/9.
