Rezensionen

"The book ... has been enriched by the presence of the BBC, and it has also been affected in numerous ways by the presence of cameras in the rules, the engagements of audiences and lure of advertisers. Readers interested in the evolution of sport, social and cultural history and the development of technology will be similarly enriched by this nostalgic and worthy work." (Jon Gemmell, The International Journal of the History of Sport, March 17, 2019)
