National Football Museum

Beautiful building. Took my husband who is a huge Manchester United fan for a surprise trip. The museum could do with a more linear history. It felt a bit all over the place. Some total gems though and donation only! Worth a visit for a general football fan

I found it hard to appreciate the history of rapists, sex offenders, wife-beaters and common thugs. Most people involved in the business of football, be they players, managers or owners, are not to be admired. Although this place is free, it tries to get its hand in your pocket at every turn. Most activities charge extra and there are "vintage" (old and dirty) table football and arcade games randomly dotted around. There are also air hockey tables. Why? Very few places to sit, which may be intentional as to match the pathetic lack of seating for the disabled at some football stadiums. Cafe charges £1.70 for a bottle of water.

Must-go for all football fans. Obviously there is a big focus on the Manchester clubs, but there is still a lot of material and information on all English clubs. Fascinating archive material, cheap (and nice) merchandise, and a very nice cafe for refreshments. Football fans in Manchester are spoilt.

Nice experience. We did a tour and the tour guide was really nice and friendly. Great day!

Great place to see the history of football. Excellent Pelé exhibition on the third floor. But for me it's all about Gavin McCann 2* player card. This is on the second floor. Do not miss it!
