English National Football Museum

Genealogist Emma Jolly has posted about the forthcoming opening of the English National Football Museum in Manchester next month on July 6th. The post can be read online at http://s168744828.websitehome.co.uk/2012/06/06/the-national-football-museum/. Emma describes what to expect at the museum - including an interesting People's Collection - and also some personal connections to footballers from the past. She also provides links to several websites that can help with football research.

There's a separate museum for Scotland at Hampden, with a website at www.scottishfootballmuseum.org.uk - I keep meaning to take my son Calum up, now inspired to do so! I don't think there's one for Northern Ireland, though, but happy to be corrected on that.
