About this book: The End of the Terraces looks in detail at the transformation of English football in the 1990s; it's material was gathered from 1993-1995 as part of the author's doctoral dissertation. In so doing, it provides a comprehensive account of contemporary football culture that not only contributes to the study of the sport, but also sheds wider light on recent transformations in British society. Although the author draws on past writings on football, the scope and analytic focus of this book are original. Starting with a theoretical and historical framework, Anthony King goes on to examine the organic political and economic developments of the last thirty years which put the big city clubs in a position to effect a division from the rest of the League. By the mid-1980s, football faced both economic and crowd-control crises, which began to influence the 'consumption' of the game. This book looks at those who implemented the changes - the new business class - and those who have been affected - the fans. Readers should note that the author has noted in the preface of this edition that the European context has changed dramatically since the original research for this book was written; and this has fundamentally changed the situation in which clubs have to operate and, in turn, demanding new forms of solidarity and strategies from the fans. Whilst the European dimension is referred to in the back of the book, it is not systematically analysed since its form was only a blurry outline at the time the author wrote this book. The author initiated new research and this was published as 'The European Ritual: Football in the New Europe'. What this new (2003) work looks at is the transnational context of European Football in the 1990s, which has created a genuinely transnational context for the clubs. These changes have not invalidated the 'The End of The Terraces', rather it has altered its relevance and turned the original research into an analysis of English Football at a level of consciousness which typified the period with which it was concerned - i.e. a national one and not transnational.

About this book: What happens in the body when playing football? How much does a player actually work during a match? How do players cope with the physical requirements? How should a player be tested? How should players train and prepare for a match? This book provides answers to questions like these based on scientific results combined with practical experience. In a simple way, it gives the reader an understanding of the principles of fitness training in football and how to perform the training in practice. The training is designed to fit the specific needs of a football player, thus allowing for an efficient use of often limited training time. Exercises within the various areas of fitness training are thoroughly explained. The book also covers how to plan fitness training throughout the year, and what to eat and drink before, during and after a match or training session. This book is extremely valuable for coaches who want to improve their knowledge of exercise physiology and design training programmes based on sound scientific principles. The book cleverly combines practical football experience with research in a way that is easy to understand Contents: |

About the book: This book contains the many true stories he presently tells on the After-Dinner circuit are now available in this autobiography, which is a diary of his last season as a Football League Referee and traces his career from when he first started as a 15 year old in North Derbyshire. In May 2000, Kevin Lynch retired from refereeing Association Football after a career lasting 33 years. For the last 15 years, he officiated at Professional Level, the last 8 of which were spent as a Football League Referee. He was probably the most controversial referee seen in this country for many years. During his career, he acted as Assistant Referee at the Semi-Finals of both the FA and Football League Cups, and amongst many appointments overseas as a FIFA Assistant Referee, the highlight was the 1992 UEFA Cup Final between Torino and Ajax. In 1999, he was the Fourth Official at the Football League Centenary Challenge Match between Sunderland and Liverpool. He officiated on 3 occasions at Wembley: 4th Official at the 1989 FA Charity Shield Arsenal versus Liverpool; Assistant Referee at the 1992 4th Division Play-Off Final Blackpool versus Scunthorpe United; and the highlight of his domestic career was his appointment to referee the 2000 Auto Windscreen's Shield Final between Stoke City and Bristol City. Over the years, he was involved in some high profile situations: A 21-man brawl in a game between Norwich City and Crystal Palace; Sending off 5 players (a Football League record) during a game between Wigan Athletic and Bristol Rovers (4 of them from the Bristol team!)
