I've always been interested in reading about Antarctic #expeditions, especially in the early days. Shackleton's expedition in 1915 in particular is a remarkable account of an extraordinary hardy group of people. Enjoyed reading this article therefore, about how playing football (soccer) helped the morale of the team, stranded in the Antarctic.
Makes one compare these tough and resilient folk with the footballers of today who seem to go rolling around, faking injury, whist earning vast sums of money for kicking a ball around 😄
