Who better to discuss football during the Great War than our very own curator, @DrAlexJack1?
Also an award-winning author, Alexander was joined by fellow doctor @GaryJamesWriter for a fascinating look at the game's importance during this dark period:

If you're in the north west of England today this event at 1pm may appeal.

UKRAINE: WE PLAY ON 🇺🇦

Heading out in a few and will catch this. Just finished 'We Play On'. Hadn't realised how much Ukrainian clubs had been screwed over by FIFA decisions. This is part of what Darijo Srna says about it:

ALT Photo of page from Andy Brassell's We Play On, it's part of a quote from Darijo Srno: '...ex-football player and as a guy who lived in Ukraine for twenty years, I will never forget this. I'm curious because the war will one day stop. Life will continue. When someone from FIFA comes to Ukraine, what sort of welcome will he receive there? But life is long. We don't ask them to give us money. We just ask them to protect us. They don't care about us. It is painful. They don't care about Ukraine and if you don't care about Ukraine today, you're on the opposite side.'
Replying to @mcrfwf
Maria and Andy will be discussing the latter's new book and the wider context of the situation in Ukraine, tomorrow from 1pm in the @FootballMuseum's Pitch Gallery.
The talk is FREE for museum admission ticket holders and @ManCityCouncil residents:
