Gas Masks for Goal Posts. Football in Britain During the Second World War, Paperback/Anton Rippon

When Britain declared war on Germany in September 1939, football came to an abrupt halt. Then it was realised that if victory was the national goal, soccer could help - and football went to war. Boosting morale among servicemen, munitions workers and beleaguered citizens alike - and raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for war funds.
