Nope - there was a weight rule. I have put the answer out now so I’ll tell you that before 1937 the balls were generally lighter but just got heavier through moisture. On a dry day on a dry pitch Dixie Dean played with a lighter ball

Today’s football trivia answer The rules since 1937 specify that a football must weigh between 14 and 16 ounces. Before 1937 the specification was between 13 and 15 ounces - so, generally lighter but the ball absorbed more moisture in play Another question tomorrow #quiz #football #premierleague
