Gary Neville usually talks a lot of sense, and writes it too . . . Neville's words are timely.' Henry Winter, The TimesThe People's Game is [Gary's] call to mend football, harmed by the greed and selfishness of bigger clubs and associations.' Radio Times Football may have played little part in making East Germany a European sporting superpower but as Alan McDougall explains in this splendid new book there was a voluntarist ethos to the game that made it dynamic at both regional and national levels. Football mattered because it was popular and it was popular because it mattered. This is the best account of football behind the Iron Curtain since Robert Edelman, written with clarity, style and wit.’ The beautiful game is under threat. The greed and selfishness of the biggest clubs is harming the sport, with smaller clubs struggling for financial survival and supporters being left behind.

A sport accessible to everyone and enjoyed by millions around the world.

A passionate and personal account of how football has lost its soul by former player and leading pundit, Gary Neville. If ever anyone needed to see the importance of sport! Not only from an individual, self-improvement perspective (ie of physical health, technical proficiency), but also as a social tool: to bring community closer together, as an outlet from the stresses of life. Perhaps not much different from a visit to a theatre, or mall, or watering hole. Summary: As a keen football fan outside the United Kingdom and Europe, Gary Neville’s book has served as an easy gateway to understanding The Game beyond the pitch alone. As I've grown older following the Premier League, the issues surrounding the game have appeared more significant and this discussion raised many pertinent questions and answers. Gary Neville has never been shy to air his views as a pundit on Sky Sports or the Overlap, so this book and his view on the state of the English Game comes as no surprise.urn:lcp:peoplesgamehisto0000walv:epub:d10f42bf-3647-4797-b7b1-5d40786374e5 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier peoplesgamehisto0000walv Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s2wvqc465s8 Invoice 1652 Isbn 1840183225 The match signalled the end of the old public school reign. Kinnaird was unable to perform his trademark handstand celebration before the pavilion, and during the trophy presentation the Olympic players were met with three quiet cheers and ‘somewhat reluctant applause’. The Chronicle ended their match report with a prediction: “Old Etonians will probably gain revenge next year”, but they nor any public school team would never again reach the cup final. The following season a new competition was introduced, the Amateur Cup, and in 1895 the FA legalised professionalism. It was 18 years before the FA Cup returned to London.
