British Deaf Football 3.0

GB has a very rich football history spanning back to 1924 where they participated in the First International Games in Paris 1924. Although they lost 2-0 to the French hosts, they captured gold at the second attempt in Amsterdam 1928. It is interesting to note that one footballer who was injured, insisted on taking part in an athletics race that he hobbled around the track in last place!
