But 75 years ago, with D-Day looming, 50,000 people watched an American football game featuring NFL and Canadian Football League (CFL) stars at a London stadium.
The venue was White City and twice in 1944 it was the stage for gridiron encounters between forces teams from Canada and the United States.
In winter, 1943 a Canadian army major was sitting in an Aldershot pub with a group of fellow officers.
