From the very first kick to the first World Cup in 1930, the book Origin Stories: The Pioneers Who Took Football to the World chronicles the development of the sport in each significant footballing nation. The tale of football's global expansion from muddy playing fields to massive, purpose-built stadiums is one of class, race, gender, and politics. You'll get to know the people who founded football all over the world and learn about the difficulties they encountered along the way. Leading historians, journalists, club chairmen, and the descendants of club founders and players are featured in Origin Stories, which tells the intriguing country-by-country story of how football took root all over the world. A cast of English aristocrats, Scotch professors, French tournament pioneers, international merchants, keen students, raucous rebels, and more are among the early proponents of the sport. Origin Stories demonstrates that football's early development was a truly global team effort.
