About TFHB

TFHB was established in 2013 during our time studying history at Swansea University. Originally intended purely to discuss some of the game’s greatest players, the initial blog has since grown to include a YouTube channel, podcast and two publications.

Football history can tell us so much more than just the scorelines. It can help us to greater understand the world in which the game is played and by making sense of the past, we can hope to ensure a progressive future.

We love writing, filming and podcasting are always looking to learn more about clubs, players and supporters. There’s much more to come in the future!

Quotes

"Bill Shankly had once said – “Some say football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it is much more serious than that.” An article from the pages of history narrating how a sport became so important and the love of the game brought different sections of the society together."

"One of the my favorite blogs to indulge in is the “Football History Boys”, who do a stellar job on producing unique, informative and consistent content. The site mainly focuses on stories and figures from years past, providing a refreshing break from the in-your-face coverage of the modern game that can often become tiresome.

The site has made wonderful progress since it’s inception in February 2013, and at the recent Football Blogging Awards, they were named “Best New Blog” for their efforts. For history buffs, the blog is rife with tales of iconic players and teams that have decorated the beautiful game."

"No punches pulled here, this site is devoted to the history of the beautiful game. For the studious soccer fan who wants to familiarise themselves with the Soviet teams of the 1960s there’s no better place on the net.”
