History of Football: The Beautiful Game

The read

The series ran 1 season across 13 episodes and has finished, so there is no cliffhanger risk.

Synopsis

This series is full of footage and interviews covering every aspect of the game, but what it does do is focus quite strongly on the true history. What this means is that it looks at the origins of the game right through to how this popular sport has affected history in general. The impact the game has had on the world's history is quite astounding, from being responsible for starting a war to being used as a political tool for many of the world's most historical figures.
