| Football 1940's |
The 1940s
Though the Second World War, football was disrupted, but never
halted. An emergency committee was formed to manage football,
with the Football League running two regional competitions.
In 1943, Stan Mortensen made a unique international debut for
Wales against England at Wembley – unique because he was
actually an England substitute, but took the injured Welshman
Ivor Powell’s place at half time. Despite the war, interest
in football was maintained. The Board of Trade allocated clothing
coupons for football equipment. The game of football had changed
immeasurably, from the public-school thinking that had set the
wheels in motion so many years before, to the game that reached
out to the far corners of the earth.
