An day exhibition geared toward on Island football fanatics will take place at the Manx Museum next Saturday.

The Museum will host 'Football Focus' as part of their 'Sporty Saturday' programme of events.

Football historians Eric Clague and Paul Hatton will take you on a journey back to when the sport was played by a small number in the 1880's, to current day when we have over 5000 registered players on Island.

There will also be a display from a freestyle soccer star, Sara Ismail-Sutton.

It will all kick off at 11am.
