Football: A Short History

by Matthew Taylor

Football's journey from the playing fields of Victorian public schools to the television screens of millions is a fascinating one. From modest origins, football rapidly took a grip on the affections and loyalties of the late 19th-century working classes and was transformed into a business. The book charts the games rise, fall and rebirth.
