This text provides a new dimension to the exciting and rapidly
expanding field of sport and the law. David McArdle contemplates
laws influence over the development of football between the
founding of the English Football League in 1888 and the European
Court of Justices seminal ruling in the Bosman case over a century
later. From Boot Money to Bosman provides insights into how the law
on violence and consent impacts upon acts of on-field violence,the
courts role in securing players a greater degree of contractual
freedom and the football governing bodies responses to player
power. It also looks at the games, and the legislatures, attempts
to prevent hooliganism and racism and considers the impact of the
move towards all-seater stadia in the wake of the Hillsborough
disaster. The book provides information on how race and sex
discrimination law impact upon footballs employment practices,
explains why the sports governing bodies are immune to public law
remedies such as judicial review (but are possibly not immune the
provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998) and exhorts footballs
governing bodies to take the lead in participant protection
initiatives. Lucid and thought-provoking, this book will be
required reading for sports studies students and particularly those
who are concerned with football and the law. It will also appeal to
people working within the football industry and others who wish to
understand how the law has influenced, and will continue to
influence, the development of football.
