About this book
Reviews
“Stephen Glynn’s survey will be welcomed by film historians and historians of sport … The British Football Film is a more than helpful compendium, and Glynn proves a sure-footed and undogmatic guide.” (Dilwyn Porter, Journal of British Cinema and Television, Vol. 16 (2), April, 2019)
