“Phantom Football“ (1931)

Full title reads: “West Ham. ’Phantom Football’ Football fans pack every ground - despite fog blanket - to see (!) their favourites succeed or fail in long trail to Wembley. (Chelsea 3 - West Ham 1).“ Upton Park, West Ham, London. Players from West Ham team run out onto pitch followed by Chelsea team. The two captains toss a coin - they both look cold. Various shots of football match in fairly foggy conditions. In some places you can hardly see what is happening. We see some goals scored (just!). N.B. I guess this was an FA Cup tie because of the reference to Wembley in the title. The film is quite badly scratched in places and shows signs of some damage. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
