The First Professional Footballer


An interesting watch about the very early days of football in England, focusing on working class Scot Fergus "Fergie" Suter who would become the first paid footballer in the world, and the class divide with upper class old boys playing the game against working class men.

If you’re missing football due to Coronavirus you can get your footie fix with this on Netflix!

I'm so glad I found it. I was so surprised to find out they were based on real people. So good!
