Terrace Heroes
The 1930s saw the birth of the football idol, the ‘terrace hero’ prototypes for today’s powerful media sport stars.
The players of the 1930s were the first generation of what we now regard as ‘professionals’, yet until recently the lives and careers of footballers of this era have been little studied.
During the 1930s British football became increasingly commercialised, and the rise and development of both local and national media, in particular broadcast media, enabled players to become widely recognised 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 in the 1930s and draws comparisons with lives of our contemporary ‘terrace heroes’, the football stars of today.
Graham Kelly is Head of Postgraduate Programmes and Research at the Lancashire Business School, University of Central Lancashire, UK. He is also a founder member of the university’s International Football Institute.
Sport in the global society
General Editors: J.A. Mangan and Boria Majumdar
The interest in sports studies around the world is growing and will continue to do so. This unique series combines aspects of the expanding study of sport in the global society, providing comprehensive-ness and comparison under one editorial umbrella. It is particularly timely, with studies in the cultural, economic, ethnographic, geographical, political, social, anthropological, sociological and aesthetic elements of sport proliferating in institutions of higher education.
Eric Hobsbawm once called sport one of the most significant practices of the late nineteenth century. Its significance was even more marked in the late twentieth century and will continue to grow in importance into the new millennium as the world develops into a ‘global village’ sharing the English language, technology and sport.
