Description

Football: The First Hundred Years challenges the conventional narrative of how Britain's national game developed and spread. Rather than accepting the established account that refined football codes created by English public schools in the 1860s simply became the sport of the masses, this revisionist history examines the actual facts behind football's evolution. The book argues that accepted football history often misrepresents the reality of how the game was played and developed, particularly regarding the portrayal of pre-codified football amongst ordinary people. Published by Routledge as part of the Sport in the Global Society series, this work offers readers a fresh perspective on one of the world's most popular sports, uncovering lesser-known aspects of football's formative century that standard histories typically overlook or mischaracterise.
