Great book about the British history since its birth until the First World War Great details and information There's just one thing about this book the language used in some parts is a little bit difficult to non native English language speakers but generally it is one of the best books Téléchargement Great book for those interested in the history of football warts and all an easy read and very enjoyable Téléchargement Je ne sais pas trop en ce ui concerne le contenu car je l'ai offert a un ami mais il m'a dit avoir apprécié le livre bien ue l'anglais soit parfois assez complexe lui ayant pourtant un bon niveau Livraison rapide et conforme Téléchargement Beastly Fury is one of the best books I've ever read; the fact that I just could not put it down and completed the 300 pages in twenty four hours underlines this It is a well researched history of the birth of British football that encompasses divisions within society that include both class and nationality The main contributions for the origins of the game are carefully analysed as the roles of both the public schools and working men are put in their context The influence of Scottish football is also covered but don't expect every little detail of footballing events up to 1915 to be covered The author has picked out events relevant to the development of the professional game and guided us through a range of personalities who left their mark on our national sport One fascinating aspect is the description of the style of football played within these shores which in the light of the recent World Cup failure gives much food for thought Téléchargement This is a fantastic account of the origins of British football having read it myself I then went and bought a copy for a relative for their birthday What I think Sanders really gets is the importance of the social origins of football and how those have then conditioned how the game is played in England when Harry Redknapp talks about real football men he is echoing rhetoric from the 19th century about how the game should and should not be played This is a brilliant account of how social conflict moulded football in the UK and possibly also how it has restricted the way that the UK plays the game Téléchargement

This is the story of how the modern, professional, spectator sport of football was born in Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century. It's a tale of testosterone-filled public schoolboys, eccentric mill-owners and bolshy miners, and of why we play football the way we do. Who invented heading? Why do we have an offside law? And why are foreigners so much better than us at the game we invented?
Based on exhaustive research, Beastly Fury picks apart the complex processes which forged the modern game, turning accepted wisdom on its head. It's a story which is strangely familiar - of grasping players, corrupt clubs and autocratic officials. It's a tale of brutality, but at times too, of surprising artistry. Above all it's a story of how football, uniquely among the sports of that era, became what it is today - the people's game.Footeballe is nothinge but beastlie furie and extreme violence, wrote Thomas Elyot in 1531.
