Football Boosts The War Effort

Inspired by his grandfather's diary entry of 22nd April 1944 - when he attended Scotland vs England at Hampden Park - Henry visits the Glasgow stadium to meet with the Curator of the Scottish Football Museum, Richard McBrearty. He learns about what football meant to players and supporters during the war years. He continues his journey uncovering unique and fascinating stories connected to football and the war. He meets D-Day Veteran Bernard Morgan and two women whose fathers played in that famous 1944 match - Lesley Stephen, daughter of Scottish player James Stephen, and Jean Matthews Gough, daughter of legendary English footballer, Stanley Matthews.For information about the British Normandy Memorial: https://www.britishnormandymemorial.org/monty/To donate to the education programme ‘Operation Remembrance’: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/monty‘In Monty’s Footsteps’ is produced by Snappin Turtle for the British Normandy Memorial.  Hosted on Acast.
