Description

Discover a new perspective on the origins of Britain's national game. Football: The First Hundred Years: The Untold Story offers a revisionist history that challenges long-held beliefs about how the sport began. While common wisdom suggests that refined games from English public schools in the 1860s were passed down to the masses, this book argues that established football history does not always match the facts. Author Harvey examines the true nature of the game as it was played before the adoption of public school codes. Instead of accepting the traditional view that football played by the masses was wild or barbaric, this work provides a detailed look at the actual history of the sport. Part of the Sport in the Global Society series, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in social and cultural history and the evolution of sports in society.
