Using largely untapped local press and archive sources, five of these six essays trace the historical emergence of a professionalised sport out of the family of pastimes that were traditional 'football.'The final historical essay recounts the 'Crook Town affair, a once-famous 1920s 'shamateurist' football scandal in County Durham.

Gavin Kitching was born and brought up in a mining village on the Durham coalfield but now lives in Australia. He is Emeritus Professor of Politics at the University of New South Wales, Sydney.
