The players of the 1930s were the first generation of professionals, yet until recently the life and careers of footballers of this generation has been little studied. In 1930s Britain, football became increasingly commercialized, and the rise and development of both local and national media enabled players to become widely recognized outside of their immediate local context for the first time. Tracing the origins, playing careers and 'afterlives' of several First Division players of the era, Graham Kelly's revealing history explores the reality of living in Britain between the wars and draws interesting comparisons with lives of the modern football hero today. 410 0$aSport in the global society. 606 $aSoccer$zGreat Britain 615 0$aSoccer 676 $a796.3340941 700 $aKelly$b Graham$f1950-$01261811 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476816403321 996 $aTerrace heroes$92943142 997 $aUNINA
