George Allison, the real-life Arsenal manager had no real background in football - indeed seems to have got the Highbury job largely by chance, and being around at the opportune time. Apart from that, I don't see any massive differences in the game then and now. If you ignore the fag smoke, of course.
The stuff around it - stadiums, money, demographics etc - has changed enormously though. It's hardly the people's game at the Arsenal level anymore.
Charming period piece with a very late glimpse of pre-war England.
