The greed and selfishness of the biggest clubs is harming the sport, with smaller clubs struggling for financial survival and supporters being left behind. urn:lcp:peoplesgamehisto0000walv:epub:d10f42bf-3647-4797-b7b1-5d40786374e5 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier peoplesgamehisto0000walv Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s2wvqc465s8 Invoice 1652 Isbn 1840183225

represents an excellent example of research using football to illustrate the colourful ambiguities of everyday life in the GDR.' 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.Neville at his authentic best. [He] is the closest thing to a spokesman there is for English football.'

If Olympic sport was the GDR's perfect child, football was its unruly but ever popular sibling. In this extensively researched, stylishly written and highly accessible survey, McDougall has provided an English-speaking audience with its first full-scale account of the people's game in East Germany. The result is an excellent and essential contribution to our understanding of GDR society and the peculiarities of football in the wider transnational context of Cold War sport.'

The People's Game is [Gary's] call to mend football, harmed by the greed and selfishness of bigger clubs and associations.
