This work by the award-winning sports historian goes beyond scores and results to present a unique view of Britain's sporting past.
This involves looking at the dark side of sport, the use of alcohol as a performance enhancing drug, the violence of football hooligans before the First World War, the tribulations of weight-watching jockeys, and the employment of children as young a seven as golf caddies.
The pioneering role of women in golf is highlighted - as a sport in which they have often been considered subordinate to men. The author also highlights the courage shown by amateur jump jockeys in piloting their mounts over fences and hurdles.
He examines of the organisation of hunting, shooting and fishing - all sports which flourished in the nineteenth century despite apparently having no rules.
The myth of the early control that the Jockey Club exerted over horseracing is exposed. And the nationality problems associated with team selection for the Ryder Cup are discussed. Other chapters offer critiques of approaches taken to researching sports history, the application of the concept of modernisation to sport, and the development of sports museums in the burgeoning sports heritage industry.

Elizabeth Hamilton's dream of being a prima ballerina in New York has finally come true. Her whole career is at her feet, and nothing will get in her way. She is in love with her completely organized and focused life and doesn't think she has room--or the need--for anything more.
In contrast, Michael Ryan's dreams have thus far eluded him, and a lifetime of poor decision-making has taken its toll. He did not grow up in a loving environment and has never allowed himself the luxury of dreaming about a better life. His is a life of chaos, danger, and uncertainty, with little room for hope.
When Elizabeth finds Michael injured on the roadside and takes him to\ the cottage, it changes Elizabeth's world. How can a prima ballerina find space in her heart for a rough-and-tumble biker with a dark past and even more insidious secrets? But despite her seemingly perfect life, Elizabeth's past has returned to envelop her. Can she ever know happiness again?
Michael must find the strength and courage to leave his past behind now that Elizabeth has shown him how loved he can truly be. When both their pasts threaten their future, they must rise above everything and anything to fight for their love. Will fate bring Elizabeth and Michael together, or will it lead them to new and different paths?
