Well done Leicester but we had that T Shirt printed in 1929

Think it is impossible to compare 1980's football and that in 2016 never mind football in the 1920's.

 

I read a newspaper from late 1918 a while ago and the hot topic of the day was how professional footballers were earning too much money for "kicking a ball around" before the war, and that now they were coming back from Flanders, it was an opportunity to reform football by cutting down the wage bill and making them earn their pay like normal people.

 

Was weirdly familiar.

So basically all we need now is a war? And the money will go? Sounds feasible
