What makes the magic sponge magic? 🧽

That’s right, a whole video on the old bucket and sponge.

When it was first used, what makes it so effective and why it could still come in handy today.

More of this sort of thing in our current exhibition, Head, Shoulders, Knees & Goals, on display for three more weeks.

Black in the Game: Untold Stories. 🙏

Last year's award-nominated exhibition featured the stories of so many Black heritage players, coaches and figures within the game - but not every story could be included.

With that in mind, the National Football Museum is exploring some of those stories through our Collections series, starting with Croydon league and cup winner - and former England international - Carmaine Walker.
