Beastly Fury: The Strange Birth Of British Football
Richard Sanders

This is the story of how the modern, professional, spectator sport of football was born in Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century. It’s a tale of testosterone-filled public schoolboys, eccentric mill-owners and bolshy miners, and of why we play football the way we do. Who invented heading? Why do we have an offside law? And why are foreigners so much better than us at the game we invented?
