No Foreign Game: Association Football and the Making of Irish Identities Quinn James
From its earliest days, Association Football was seen not just as a contest between individuals and teams, but also between nations and peoples. Sport in Ireland was disputed ground in a manner that was not the case elsewhere - even the term ' football' itself was a contested one. The Irish national team was among the first in the world to participate in international competition in the early 1880s, but not everyone accepted it as a truly national entity.
This book provides a unique window into the history of Ireland and Britain, with keen insights into the making of national, regional, sectarian, class and gender identities that crystallised around Irish soccer. But soccer followers generally found no contradiction between their sporting and national loyalties, and the game found an important niche in Irish life, supported by many leading nationalists, from James Connolly to John Hume.
