Reader's note

This brilliant old book is a must-read for anyone interested in sports history! There has certainly never been a more exhaustive history of the beautiful game than this one or one whose illustrations are so varied and so excellent! Denzil Batchelor manages to add a little humour here and there as the following extract shows - Alas, I wish I could feel sympathy for this national confidence that football began in England. My own guess is that the game is a good deal older than our country itself. After the fall of man, presumably Cain and Abel wore loin cloths and the first weekend that either of the garments was due for Eve's laundry was the occasion of football's debut! - he has such a colourful way of interpreting history!
