Strength in Depth, Episode 3; Between the Wars

By the 1920s, it was starting to feel as though the amateurs of the late 19th century who were running football in England was a little like a tail wagging a dog.

It's time for the third episode of our podcast series, Strength In Depth: A History of Non-League Football. This week, it's the story of the non-league game between the two world wars, a period during which the Football League swelled to more than twice its previous size, the amateurs running the FA and the PFA contrived to get the Home Nations to expel themselves from the first three World Cups, while the amateur and professional games continued to battle for public attention.

It’s also coming to the end of the year, so this is a reminder that from January much of this Substack will be going behind a paywall. If you want to join, you can do so here.
