Book Synopsis First Elevens: the Birth of International Football by : Andy Mitchell
Download or read book First Elevens: the Birth of International Football written by Andy Mitchell and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of how international football began, culminating in the Scotland v England match of 30 November 1872. That match had its origins in 1870, when two teams of English and Scots footballers kicked a ball about for 90 minutes in the outfield of a London cricket ground. They were cheered on by 'an assemblage of spectators such as is rarely seen', which was about 500 spectators. Over the next two years, international football took the first faltering steps on a journey of passion and emotion that now captivates hundreds of millions of football fans around the world. In this ground-breaking work, football historian Andy Mitchell explains why the pioneers came up with the idea, what challenges they faced, how the rugby and association codes fought for supremacy, and who the key players were. Following exhaustive research, he outlines in detail the events that led to the first internationals, and tells the surprising stories of the men who took part in the early internationals: from convicted killer to Prime Minister's son, the tragic deaths and the outstanding careers. This book shines new light on the birth of international football rivalry, and is a valuable addition to literature on the world's greatest sport. Chapters 1-5 describe the events of the five unofficial internationals between 1870-72, the first rugby international in March 1871, and the first official Scotland v England association football international on 30 November 1872. Chapters 6-8 tell the amazing stories of the football pioneers, their triumphs and disasters, with many photos never before published. The book concludes with an indispensible biographical dictionary of the 75 association football players and 40 rugby players who took part in the matches, including birth and death details, sporting and career highlights, and family background. There is also a timeline, bibliography and index.

Download or read book The Debatable Land written by Graham Robb and published by Picador. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Debatable Land was an independent territory which used to exist between Scotland and England. It is the oldest detectable territorial division in Great Britain. At the height of its notoriety, it was the bloodiest region in the country, and preoccupied the monarchs and parliaments of England, Scotland and France. After most of its population was slaughtered or deported, it became the last part of Great Britain to be conquered and brought under the control of a state. Today, it has vanished from the map and no one knows exactly where and what it was. When Graham Robb moved to a lonely house on the very edge of England, he discovered that the river which almost surrounded his new home had once marked the Debatable Land’s southern boundary. Under the powerful spell of curiosity, Robb began a journey – on foot, by bicycle and into the past – that would uncover lost towns and roads, shed new light on the Dark Age, reveal the truth about this maligned patch of land, and lead to more than one discovery of major historical significance. For the first time – and with all of his customary charm, wit and literary grace – Graham Robb, prize-winning author of The Discovery of France, has written about his native country. The Debatable Land is an epic and energetic book that takes us from 2016 back to an age when neither England nor Scotland could be imagined to reveal a crucial, missing piece in the puzzle of British history.
Book Synopsis England Versus Scotland by : Rupert Matthews
Download or read book England Versus Scotland written by Rupert Matthews and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2003-07-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delve into a thousand years of battle and rebellion with this vivid chronicle of warfare between Scotland and England—with battlefield information. Today, England and Scotland limit their fierce rivalry to the football field, but as historian Rupert Matthews demonstrates in this engaging volume, this was not always the case. Before the eighteenth century Act of Settlement in the Eighteenth Century, these neighboring lands were locked in a long, contentious, and often bloody conflict. Matthews has researched more than twenty major battles between England and Scotland. They range from the seventh century Battle of Degsastan to the Jaobite Rising’s bitter end at Culloden in the eighteenth century. Each battle forms a chapter, explaining the causes of the conflict, the forces involved, the battle itself, and a brief guide to the battlefield as it is today.

Book Synopsis Scotland Vs England 2014 by : Ian Black
Download or read book Scotland Vs England 2014 written by Ian Black and published by Black & White Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the 18th September 2014, a mere 700-and-a-bit years after the Battle of Bannockburn, the struggle for power between Scotland and England will reach another milestone - this time probably without the swords, horses and armour. It is, without question, the most serious subject of the year, but there is a funny side too. Now Ian Black, master of the witty remark, king of the one-liner and enthusiastic unfurler of the Saltire sets his mind to the lighter side of Independence. With more pro-Independence and anti-No-voter jokes and tales than you can shake a stick at, Scotland vs England is the antidote to a very serious year. This book explains that the new Scots currency will be the Dreichma, perfect if our usual weather combines with Greek-style financial meltdown anytime in the future, or possibly the Punt, though apparently all of the punts are in the south-east of England. Mr Black also explains that occasional mutterings of "durty English bastards" north of the border refer not to the great majority of English folk but to the filthy goings-on in Westminster.And there are answers to some of the great questions, like: "What goes 'putt' and what goes 'putt, putt, putt, putt'", to which the answer is: a Scottish golfer and an English golfer on the Old Course at St Andrews. Scotland vs England may not help you make up your mind about which way to vote, but in the serious months ahead when all will seem lost and there will be no escape from politicians, it will be very welcome.

Download or read book The Prehistory Of Scotland written by V. Gordon Childe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-24 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, originally published in 1935, sought to reveal the significance of Scottish prehistory for the development of understanding of European prehistory. Written at a time of rapid accumulation of new relics and monuments and the insights from them, Professor Childe presented some important new data and made tentative conclusions for the future results from these finds. After an introduction to the geography of Scotland the book looks at evidence from cairns, tombs and stone circles and then addresses chronologically the evidence from Early Bronze Age to Late and onto the Iron Age, with a chapter devoted to forts, towns and castles. It ends with a discussion of what happened in the Dark Ages and addresses questions about the Celts and the Picts and the diversity of the peoples in Scotland.
