Football in Wind and Rain
By John Williams
Football in Wind and Rain provides educational but entertaining bite-size accounts of the history of British football and its people. The voices of commentators, fans, managers and players all feature, with topics such as fandom, stadiums, great matches, law changes, memorable goals and regional differences given due coverage.
Author John Williams is a long-standing WSC contributor and a widely published academic sociologist who has spent his working life examining British football’s history and the game’s cultural and social impact. He began his research career exploring fan hooliganism, but has since been involved in research, film and writing on sports cultures, fandom, and issues of fairness, race and gender equality in sport.
