Reviews

The importance of this work must be highlighted first for its abundant use of documentation from a wide range of archives, some of which have not been previously consulted. Furthermore, it must be commended for its insightful analysis of European football from a more transnational perspective, an aspect that should serve to guide and stimulate further research into this subject. (Juan Antonio Simon, Journal of Sport History 45/3 2018)
