Pink Floyd Football Club

Pink Floyd Football Club
January 1972

An interesting article (in Italian) about the Pink Floyd Football Club (PFFC), also known as the 'First Eleven', made up of the band, colleagues, and wives (who formed the cheerleading section). During the early 1970s football was a major passion of the band, and they routinely played matches against other amateur clubs, including a team of 'Marxists' from northern London whom the PFFC defeated, 4 - 0. 

According to Nick Mason's book Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd, the below photo was taken in January 1972 on the occasion of a match against a band called the 'Family'.
