Man protesting against playing of football during WW1
Frederick Nicholas Charrington (a member of the brewing family) protesting against the playing of football during the First World War. He seized his opportunity during half-time at Fulham football ground. He believed that it was cowardly for men to be paid to play football while other men were fighting on the Western Front -- professional players could only join the armed forces if their clubs agreed to cancel their contracts. Date: September 1914
