There has been an explosion in the quantity of sports history
literature published in recent years, making it increasingly
difficult to keep abreast of developments. The annual number of
publications has increased from around 250 to 1,000 a year over the
last decade. This is due in part to the fact that during the late
1980s and 90s, many clubs, leagues and governing bodies of sport
have celebrated their centenaries and produced histories to mark
this occasion and commemorate their achievements. It is also the
result of the growing popularity and realisation of the importance
of sport history research within academe.
