Description

Explore the origins of the modern football idol with Terrace Heroes: The Life and Times of the 1930s Professional Footballer. Part of the Sport in the Global Society series, this book examines the first generation of professional players who paved the way for today's media stars. During the 1930s in Britain, football underwent significant commercialization. The rise of local and national media allowed players to gain recognition far beyond their local communities for the very first time. This study fills a gap in sports history by looking closely at the lives and careers of players from this era. By tracing the playing careers and the lives that followed for several First Division players, the text provides a deep look into how the professional game changed. It is an essential read for those interested in the social history of sport and how media influence began to shape the world of professional athletics.
