Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book looks at the experiences and achievement levels of Irish-born football migrants to Britain and further afield. In particular, it draws on interviews with twenty-four Irish-born footballers, each of whom has played league football in England or Scotland in the 1945-2010 period. This… is the first book to utilise these migrants as a quantitative source, and to illustrate their experiences within the context of the Irish diaspora. It builds on a comprehensive range of databases to examine players' career movements and is illustrated throughout with tables and pictures.An examination of the birthplaces of players is offered along with the reasons for their geographical diversity.As well as providing an assessment of the development of schoolboy coaching structures in Ireland and the social challenges which many young players have faced, particularly in rural areas, it discusses key childhood influences and the development of scouting networks. It assesses the recruitment process and identifies the Irish clubs which have produced the most players who have migrated and played first team league football in Britain, and in turn, it establishes the clubs in Britain which have given first team league football to the most Irish-born players. The impact of the Troubles on the migration of Northern Ireland born players is also discussed. An assessment of players' working conditions and the culture of professional football in Britain is given, particularly in light of the cultural adaption required, while the book also examines the changing nature of the post-playing careers of these footballers. The decline of Irish-born players within top flight English league football is discussed along with a number of difficulties facing future Irish football migrants.In locating the study of Irish football migrants within the study of Irish migration to Britain, Europe and the United States of America, and in comparing the experiences of Irish born footballers with those from other nations, this book is the first of its kind. This book looks at the experiences and achievement levels of Irish-born football migrants to Britain and further afield. In particular, it draws on interviews with twenty-four Irish-born footballers.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. During the nineteenth century sport underwent a revolution which was heavily influenced by the social and economic changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution in England. How this sporting 'revolution' affected the development of sport at a micro-level, in a peripheral Irish setting,…has received only limited attention. Donegal, a rather isolated county lying in the north-west of Ireland, but at the time part of the United Kingdom and the British Empire, has thus far received little analysis. The development of Gaelic and association football will be given particular emphasis but cricket, hockey and rugby will also be explored in detail. This book is the first comprehensive study of sport in Donegal throughout the period from 1880 until 1935. In assessing developments at a local and national level, it examines how structures for competitions and teams underwent a significant change within the county and throughout Ireland from the late Victorian period until the early years of the Irish Free State.Conor Curran illustrates the incompleteness of the Irish sporting 'revolution' and how the growth of sport in Donegal relied mainly on local individuals' enthusiasm rather than on any national, or even provincial, administrative agencies.Of particular importance in the decision to undertake an examination of sport there is the diversity of the county, socially, culturally and physically, which means that it differed from a number of other Irish counties and many of its clubs lacked a particular unity for the administration of sport to work effectively throughout its area. How the growth of sport in Donegal contrasted with wider developments will be examined in this book, as, despite these failures, by the end of 1934 there were at least sixty-seven Gaelic football teams in operation and at least 103 soccer teams. The first comprehensive study of sport in Donegal throughout the period from 1880 until 1935. In assessing developments at a local and national level, it examines how structures for competitions and teams underwent a significant change within the county and throughout Ireland from the late Victorian period to the beginning of the Irish Free State.

Paperback. Condition: New. New. «In this excellent, readable and important study,?Curran reveals a rich vein of migrants who went to ply their trade as soccer players in the USA. This textured study illustrates the human side of the story enlivened by rich interviews of both female and male players. It is a must for students of…the diaspora and sports studies. A major contribution». (Professor Donald MacRaild, London Metropolitan University).«This is a fascinating and timely contribution to debates on sport and migration. Curran uses an impressive array of methods from archives to in-depth interviews to tell the story of young Irish athletes who move to the United States to take up scholarship opportunities to further their education and play football».(Professor Chris Bolsmann, California State University Northridge).The book explores Irish male and female soccer players' experiences of US soccer scholarships in the twentieth century. It assesses how valuable these scholarships were in terms of playing, education and post-university careers. This study therefore focuses on how these players were recruited, their playing and educational experiences of the soccer scholarships, and the extent to which their scholarships facilitated their employment in professional football and in work related to their degrees after leaving university. Using oral testimony as well as archival evidence, the book adds new perspectives on the history of sports migration, to studies of the Irish diaspora, to research on the history of education and to women's history. It also contributes to the fields of sports history, migration and education. In doing so, it examines an aspect of the history of Irish-American relations which has not previously been assessed.
