Scoring for Britain
註釋"This book considers the nature and development of linkages between international football and politics between 1900 and 1939, and also provides a history of international football in Britain. It discusses Britain's influence over the development of football as a world game, British footballers as international stars, and the extra-sporting significance of fixtures such as England v. Germany (1935 and 1938). Finally, it illuminates the long-standing sporting debates as to whether professionals representing their country play for themselves rather than for their nation, whether international sport serves as a force for co-operation or conflict, and whether sporting performances affect a nation's prestige."--Jacket.
