Overview:

This lively and thoroughly researched history - the first of its kind - goes beyond the great names and moments to explain how organized sport has changed since 1800, and why it holds such a special place in the lives of Britons of all classes. Combining illuminating and entertaining anecdotes with scholarly insight, this fascinating survey will increase an understanding of the British obsession with sport among sports lovers and loathers alike.


Reviews:

'He has produced a political, cultural, social and economic history of British sport ... and the book is fascinating'
Simon Barnes, The Times

'This is a hugely enjoyable as well as enlightening book. The highest recommendation I can give it is this: I loathe sport, and I couldn't put it down.'
Campbell Ferguson, Daily Mail
