Ottoleaks 1894 : Albacete's Dawn on foot-ball (English Edition)

While modern times submerge football into a millionaire media spectacle, filled with illustrious names, astronomical contracts, and major investors vying for worldwide fame and wealth, in El Bonillo, a small village in the Spanish moors of La Mancha, a box appears containing decrepit diaries, yellowed newspaper clippings, and old photographs of football players from over a century ago. The analysis of these documents unveils the fascinating story of how an embryonic football game took root and flourished in the rugged fields of Albacete, guided by the railroad in the late 19th century. Ottoleaks 1894 is the account of how this mysterious box opens a window to the harsh Albacete of the second industrial revolution, the unstoppable progress of football, how it brought happiness to resilient workers, and how Albacete, in the end, is one of the brave pioneers of football in the beleaguered Spain of the Restoration era.
