Beschreibung
Association football, as it developed rapidly in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, both reflected British society and helped to reshape it. In this newly released edition of Tony Mason's essential account of the game's rise, focusing on issues such as the amateur-professional divide, social class and mass spectatorship are seen as fundamental to our understanding of what is now a global phenomenon. Dilwyn Porter supplements this classic text with a brand new introduction.
