Pig Bladders & Moustaches

[LE4 Old Fart]

I hope you will forgive my blatant attempt at promoting a book – but it is for a good cause.

Pig-Bladders & Moustaches – a miscellany of nineteenth century Leicester Fosse & Leicestershire football is a unique and engaging miscellany that delves into the vibrant and often chaotic origins of football in Leicestershire during the 19th century. This book will transport readers to a time of pig bladder balls, magnificent moustaches, and the raw, unfiltered passion that fuelled the early game. Presented in a deliberately random, time-hopping order, this collection of trivia, facts, anecdotes, stories, profiles, and lists offers a captivating and unique unpredictable journey through a forgotten era of local sporting history.

How to Order: The book is £12.50 (including postage) and can be ordered here: https://shorturl.at/aBpZ6

The Cause: Every penny of the proceeds goes directly toward maintaining and enhancing the not-for-profit Leicestershire Football Archive. You can learn more about our work at www.leicestershirefootballarchive.com

Read the Michael Boot story on the archive site, seems unfathomable now!

Pig bladder balls sounds like something my Wife calls me mid argument.
