This ambitious and fascinating history considers why, in the space
of sixty years between 1850 and 1910, football grew from a marginal
and unorganised activity to become the dominant winter
entertainment for millions of people around the world. The book
explores how the world's football codes - soccer, rugby league,
rugby union, American, Australian, Canadian and Gaelic - developed
as part of the commercialised leisure industry in the nineteenth
century. Football, however and wherever it was played, was a
product of the second industrial revolution, the rise of the mass
media, and the spirit of the age of the masses. Important reading
for students of sports studies, history, sociology, development and
management, this book is also a valuable resource for scholars and
academics involved in the study of football in all its forms, as
well as an engrossing read for anyone interested in the early
history of football.
