Description

Play Up! Play Up! And Play The Game takes a look at just how influential Britain has been in spreading Sport throughout the world and how this has been achieved. More than that, it looks at how sport was acknowledged to be more than just a game and how the values and qualities of sport helped to build  the British ‘character’ and how it’s influence reached far deeper into  society in general. Britain has been responsible for introducing the world to many sports, but here, the author concentrates on two of the biggest – Football and Cricket.


Whether the reader is an avid sports fan, a historian of the Empire or just a proud ‘Brit’, this book will both entertain and inform you. You may have believed that it was always through ‘Empire’ that Britain influenced the worlds sporting interests, however, after reading this book you may be surprised to find that was not always the case. Well researched and well written, this book comes recommended.
