Now unknown or forgotten, influential schoolmasters took the
game of association football to many parts of England. They had
several roles: they brought the game to individual schools, they
established regional and national leagues and associations, and
they founded professional football clubs. They also exported the
game around the world, working as moral missionaries, passionate
players and energetic entrepreneurs. The role of teachers in
association football is a much neglected aspect of English cultural
history. It is a story that deserves to be told because it allows a
fundamental reappraisal of the status and position of these
teachers in late nineteenth century and early twentieth century
society.
This volume was previously published as a special issue of the
