Usual rules of football apply.
Lay a thick cloth, approx. 4 feet x 2.5 feet to form the football pitch.
Players move the ball like tiddlywinks. Gain the ball by flicking a player counter to touch the white counter. Then pass or shoot at goal.
This edition of the game is particularly interesting as it includes endorsement from Tommy Jones, Tommy Lawton, Denis Compton (who excelled at cricket as well as football), and Stanley Matthews.
A rare game.
