Documents relating to the protests of the Trades Union Congress, through their General Secretary Sir Walter Citrine, over the proposed Anglo-German football match arranged by the English Football Association. The match was played on 4 December 1935 at White Hart Lane, the north London home ground of Tottenham Hotspur, a club which then had a sizeable number of Jewish supporters.

The documents include a front page article from the London-based Jewish journal 'World Jewry' praising the opposition of the Trades Union Congress to the match. It argues that "by their action the TUC were not mixing sport with politics: they were reasserting the principle, violated by Nazi Germany, that the two be kept apart". In contrast, a letter from the Home Secretary, Sir John Simon, dismisses the view that the match could be seen as a symbol of British support for the Nazi regime.
