Gallery Talk with Peter Lupson
Thank God For Football: Famous Clubs of Church Origin
Monday 21 April 7.00pm – 8.00pm
It may come as a surprise to learn that nearly a third of the clubs that have played in the FA Premier League owe their existence to a church. It may be just as surprising to hear that very little is known about the founders of these famous clubs. In some cases even their names are wrong. Peter Lupson 's book 'Thank God for Football! ' sets the record straight. Drawing on original materials from a variety of sources he has been able to bring these pioneers to life and to transport us back to the time in which they lived. He will tell the fascinating stories of some of these exceptional people and talk about the remarkable response of a number of clubs to his discoveries.
Tickets cost just £3. To book tickets please call the Museum on 01772 908442 or e-mail post@nationalfootballmuseum.com . Refreshments will also be served.
