Omschrijving
The critically acclaimed global story of football in the twenty-first century.
Magnificent . . . Goldblatt is the doyen of sports historians and brings to this account his forensic and telling eye for detail
David Goldblatt is not merely the best football historian writing today, he is possibly the best there has ever been
Next time people tell you politics has no place in football, tell them to read David Goldblatt's The Age of Football
A globe-trotting magnum opus
Reading David Goldblatt, you don't just understand football better. You understand the world a bit better, too. The breadth of his research is unmatched, and the writing is always a pleasure
There are football books. And then there are football books...a scintillating survey of the great 20th-century gold rush, from before the second world war to the boom times of the single European market...The age of football really is upon us. It has after all given us The Age of Football, a history that is, for all the familiarity of some of the detail, unlike anything else written on this subject.
Superb . . . Goldblatt provides vignettes and beautifully crafted studies, country by country, of contemporary politics and economics, told through, and around the global game
Extraordinarily wide-ranging
Impressively vast
David Goldblatt’s fine study shows how football worldwide has been co-opted by populist movements
A monumental piece of work
Comprehensive yet light of touch
David Goldblatt was born in 1965 and inherited, for his sins, Tottenham Hotspurs from his father. He has published highly acclaimed books of football: The Ball is Round, an astonishingly ambitious global history of the game, Futebol Nation, a footballing history of Brazil, and The Game of Our Lives about the meaning and making of English football. He also edited the World Football Yearbook, made sporting documentaries for BBC Radio, reviewed sports books for the TLS and the Guardian and taught the sociology of sport at Bristol University, De Montfort University, Leicester and Pitzer College, Los Angeles.
