And now for something completely different. A sideways look at how history and nature have shaped some of the things we often wondered about.

Featuring golden boy Wilf Mannion, the popularity of women's football, football boredom busters in prisoner of war camps and the only professional footballer to be awarded a Victoria Cross, Donald Simpson Bell, Battle Bowlers & Football Boots tells the story of those who represented their countr
